Roundel 2021: EX trends, priorities and practices in the year everything changed

Roundel 2021: EX trends, priorities and practices in the year everything changed

2020 vs employee experience

Last year saw wave upon wave upon wave of seismic change. Our profession rose to the challenge, as we grappled with some of the biggest challenges any of us have ever faced.

When we were analysing this year’s results we were intrigued to see what impact remote working had on productivity, collaboration, innovation, empowerment, engagement levels and organisational culture? Which initiatives had the most positive impact on employee experiences? What learnings could be taken forward? And what we collectively think will stick as hybrid models of work start to emerge in a post pandemic future.
