Session #2

From Data to Direction: How to Shape Business Strategy through Employee Intelligence

Developing an effective employee listening strategy is essential for guiding the employee experience, a key component of any thriving organization. The importance of this approach lies in its capacity to unearth deep insights into employee needs, ambitions, and obstacles, thereby cultivating a workforce that is both more engaged and productive. The primary challenge, however, is in the effective gathering and interpretation of diverse employee feedback within a constantly changing work environment. By identifying and responding to the 'moments that matter' in an employee's journey, an effective strategy can be built around the entire employee experience creating a workplace environment that truly resonates with their employees' needs and aspirations.

This discussion will draw upon the latest research from Perceptyx’s 2024 State of Employee Listening report sharing actionable insights to help data-driven people leaders measurably change behavior for business transformation.
