The <\/span>employee experience<\/b> is a key factor in their productivity, as well as in their loyalty to the company and their professional comfort.<\/span> Ensuring an optimal level of employee experience<\/b> is key for any company, but it is a challenge that increases exponentially depending on the number of employees on staff and the workspace to be managed.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is employee experience?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The concept of\u00a0what employee experience<\/strong> is quite broad since it includes everything that a professional encounters in a company, from the first search for a job offer leading to this company to the last day he or she is hired.\u00a0In practical terms and applied to the professional’s day-to-day life, the employee experience is the impact generated by all the interactions with the company.\u00a0<\/span>The impact generated by the set of interactions of that employee with the rest of the elements of a company t<\/strong>his includes both physical resources and collaboration with other employees.<\/p>\n

Tools and methods for measuring employee experience<\/b><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>new technologies<\/b> have allowed us to delve deeper into the employee experience to measure all the factors that influence this area accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design and improvement of workspaces<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Foot Analytics 24\/7 occupancy analysis<\/b> allows you to monitor all workspaces in a building or office.<\/span> By measuring\u00a0detailed\u00a0usage patterns and occupant behaviour, we have accurate information on employees and<\/strong>\u00a0precise information on the employee experience, such as favourite spaces, average office attendance, and density, i.e., square footage per person.<\/span>\u00a0While this can be focused on\u00a0optimising spaces and making better use of a company’s spatial<\/strong> space capacity, it also helps to identify which employees need relocation or transformation of their workplace to improve their experience and, in the end, their bottom line.<\/p>\n

Technologies to facilitate communication and collaboration<\/b><\/h3>\n

Interaction between professionals<\/strong> is a key factor in the employee experience. With new technologies, communication and collaboration can be improved for any work task. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the possibilities are vast. It is important to choose the most suitable platforms according to\u00a0<\/span>each company’s needs and characteristics, involve employees in their integration, and get continuous feedback to\u00a0identify improvements, alternatives,<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and cost-effectiveness<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Process automation and its effect on experience<\/b><\/h3>\n

Business digitalization<\/strong> has increased the tasks and processes that any employee has to perform during the working day. This allows for\u00a0optimized control of all the work done, but it also takes time out of the working day and means more stress for the professional. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, process automation\u00a0<\/span>systems have been developed.\u00a0<\/strong>These systems are increasingly better integrated into companies, especially with regard to standard functions that can be found in any office<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Process automation is one of the most useful tools for improving the employee experience. It frees the employee from various repetitive tasks, reduces margins of error, and allows the professional to focus on other objectives with a more immediate or obvious reward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relationship between employee experience and productivity<\/b><\/h2>\n

Employee experience is a factor that is inextricably linked to employee productivity. Therefore, improving all aspects related to it will imply profitability that the company will enjoy both in the short and long term: <\/span><\/p>\n
