What is Employee Performance Experience?

A method of improving operational performance and customer experience by personally guiding frontline employees across every stage of the employee lifecycle.

What is the Performance Experience Methodology

It is no secret that engaged, high performing employees create amazing customer experiences. A performance experience is a method of improving productivity, employee retention, and CX by personally guiding and inspiring frontline employees across every stage of the employee lifecycle. While traditional performance management solutions are reactionary and top-down, a performance experience flips the pyramid, taking an employee-centric approach to performance to meet the expectations of today’s employee.

It’s the only way to win in today’s market.

Why? Because employees’ expectations have changed. And when their experience meets their expectations, they succeed – which means you succeed.

OLD VS NEW
The Performance Experience Gap

When performance management, learning, coaching, quality, and wellbeing are siloed and non-personalized, we call this the Performance Experience Gap. But, with the right technology, and the power of AI, it’s easy to bring together these critical elements of the employee experience to guide employees to perform at their best.

Stage 1: Onboarding

Because many frontline employees are new to the role or entering the workforce for the first time, the onboarding process can be both intimidating and overwhelming, making it difficult to ask questions or know where to go for support, especially in remote situations. Left unsupported, employees with poor onboarding experiences drive down quality and service levels, lower efficiency, and cause costly early attrition.

This is why frontline organizations must implement performance experience strategies during onboarding.
