Up your EX Game: Employee experience (EX) has been thrust onto center stage in the new world of work. Still, a clear, simple definition of employee experience remains elusive while strategies and initiatives to build an exemplary employee experience remain poorly understood.

Why “no” should never be an option in change strategy, when getting to “yes” is the only option for change, team members are more likely to rally to the cause instead of finding ways to shoot down new ideas. Transformation is not a one-time event — it is a continual process, requiring constant reminders for everyone to focus on finding a path to yes.
