In this episode of How People Work, Jordan and Jason define a holistic view of the employee experience. They discuss what the ideal employee experience looks like and how it has evolved over time with market changes and new generations entering the workforce.Jason and Jordan also examine what means to intrinsically belong somewhere, especially in the context of work which is traditionally a merit-based belonging.

Key ideas and highlights:

Employee experience is holistic and revolves around this idea of belonging.

People seek belonging at work more than they ever have before.

Employers need to have both entitlement-oriented and merit-based belonging in order to promote belonging and self-actualization.

The employee experience has evolved over time, and it’s up to both employers and employees to have the ideal employee experience.
