Do employees even use the&nbsp;tools provided, or do they need to find a workaround due to a lack of functionality? Many&nbsp;projects stumble over the issue of user acceptance after the new solution&nbsp;has been rolled out. This is a worst-case scenario for the project teams and must be avoided.&nbsp;In our projects, we first use various methods to uncover precisely the user\u2019s pain points, needs, and wishes \u2013 before the first line of code is written.&nbsp;Only when&nbsp;the new software satisfies the users\u2019 needs will a new digital solution&nbsp;be adopted and utilized&nbsp;efficiently. All the findings flow into the bigger picture: Employee Technology Experience Management. <strong>Cody Wedl<\/strong>, our Head of Experience Management, takes us through the ETX world at sovanta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the New Experience Economy is influencing Employee Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/1998\/07\/welcome-to-the-experience-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Pine\u2019s famous chart<\/a> depicting&nbsp;the experience economy is legendary in helping companies ensure a customer-first approach for&nbsp;how they do business. Over the past two years consumers have grown accustomed to a personalized experience which has been unofficially dubbed, <em>The New Experience Economy<\/em>, which has done 2 things:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It has forced companies to further up their game to either&nbsp;become competitive or continue to lead.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li>It has&nbsp;created a larger demand&nbsp;from&nbsp;employees for a great experience (digitally), which was only considered a \u2018nice to have\u2019 by many, only a few years ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As the demand for qualified employees increases, so too is the demand for a quality employee experience. As flexible work and home office policies still linger for many of us, one of the greatest impacts on employee experience is the digital user experience employees work with on a daily basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"image-card-with-buttonblock_628b4e2571ff5\" class=\"block__image-card-with-button -detect-in-viewport has-background has-cream-background-color image-card\">\n      \n  \n\n<div id=\"quoteblock_628b4e2971ff6\" class=\"block__quote -detect-in-viewport block__quote--small\">\n\n    <div class=\"block__quote__wrapper\">\n\n                    <div class=\"block__quote__quote\">Providing a seamless technology experience based on the end-to-end processes employees perform daily is quickly becoming the new normal.<\/div>\n        \n        \n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<p>As personalization drives change on the customer experience side with the New Experience Economy, personalization is now in high demand within the realm of the employee experience as well. Standard software provided on an enterprise level is a great baseline, but it is also \u2018the jack of all trades and the master of none\u2019. Providing a seamless technological experience based on the end-to-end processes employees perform is quickly becoming the new normal; and due to our continuing flexible work policies, one of the biggest differentiators in obtaining and retaining top talent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools to provide a Clear ROI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest problems IT (HRIT, Digital IT, etc. are all included) faces today is keeping up with the shifting needs and demands of business. Employee Technology Experience, which has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/assetdetail\/2022\/04\/c26280dd-267e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coined by Qualtrics<\/a>, highlights the need to track the technology provided to employees. Gathering feedback about the technology provides IT a better understanding of current pain points and where best to prioritize future investments.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operational excellence has been at the forefront of company\u2019s KPIs for decades. But it still amazes me how many companies do not have the end-to-end processes mapped out and defined (i.e. customer and employee journeys) for the users. Journey mapping is a powerful exercise which is further solidified with great technology like SAP Signavio. By mapping out the journeys with SAP Signavio, companies also set themselves up to embed intelligent Robotic Process Automation (iRPA) as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Redefining Processes around customer and employee needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything that is executed needs to have&nbsp;a business need. Various tools and techniques can be used to uncover this need.
