How important are Managers for a superior Employee Experience? How critical is it to have the latest technology vs. knowing how to utilize what you have? And why is it important as an Employee Experience practitioner to forget about HR?

In another episode of our season "From the Workbook of an HR Leader" I had the pleasure to talk to one of my peers, Nicole Sloane about these things and much more. 

In the "From the Workbook of an HR Leader" season of our EX Labs podcasts I am talking to experienced colleagues in our field about their daily working routine and what and how they are going about the various challenges they have to face each day.

I am a tireless believer that we can all be better if we learn from each other, but there are not many opportunities to actually do that - yes, there are conferences, but how often can you attend one in a year? yes, there are peer-to-peer connections, but how many do you manage to keep running?I am a firm believer that we can all do a better job if we learn from each other and so I have invited seasoned HR experts from various fields and companies to tell us about their workday and how they go about the challenges of today.

In today's episode, Nicole and I go deep on how to best understand your employees, how important a cross-functional approach is when it comes to experience and why complexity is in every aspect the wrong way to go - and not to forget how to measure if you are successful or not. Further, we talk about how the HR function continues to stay relevant and how it might look like in 3-5 years from now. Enjoy.
