Today’s workplace is hybrid, not just in name but in nature. Providing employees with the flexibility to choose the best environment, whether they want to be at home, or in the office, or anywhere in between means a storm of challenges that isn’t the easiest to navigate.
Companies that are willing to offer long-term career opportunities, support in terms of balancing work and personal life and tools that help employees excel at their job are observing higher levels of loyalty, productivity and significant improvements in their bottom line.
Employees want an employer who understands what it’s like to be a millennial, Gen-Z or Gen-Y worker. And above all, they want a company where they can be themselves at work.
With the lines between personal and professional life blurring ever so fastly, businesses need to change the way they think about their employees and employee experience.
But, what is it that employees really expect from a hybrid workplace? What are these tools that build brand stickiness and deliver productivity gains from the workforce? How can you, as an employer, improve your employee experience?
Let’s explore the key drivers of employee experience and the tools that put you on the right course of action.
Key drivers of employee experience
Your employees are your most invaluable assets. To protect and grow your assets, you must understand the compendium of elements that form the core of your employee experience strategy.

With that out of the way, let’s find out what are the ‘right’ tool/s to build a workplace with excellent employee experience and outcomes.
The right tool, what a dream?
Every person has their own opinion of what is the “right” tool.
The pessimist will say “no such thing as the right tool”
The optimist will say “lets give this tool a chance, I know it's painful but it works”
The pragmatist will say “this is the right tool for us… right now… until we move on to better tool for our future needs”
So how does one go about picking the right tool?
A right tool should address the 360° concerns of an organization. Something that is scalable, secure, reliable, and borderline low maintenance while delivering high ROI.
This is not something a hopscotch of tools can solve, irrespective of individual benefits.
What you need is a platform that does it all.
