| Tips for Improving Employee Experience in the Digital AgeTroy Baldwin, Product Management Director, CompuCom
While the pandemic has had a huge impact on business, work patterns and office designs, from an IT perspective it has acted less as a disruptor and more as an accelerator for improving employee experience. Studies show that greater employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall performance can be attributed to improved management of employee experiences and a more human-centric approach to IT services. How do we shift from being technology centric to be being experience centric? We need to focus on the individual employee and deliver IT and business outcomes that “Connect people, technology, and the edge with a seamless experience”. Join this session and learn how you can create a digital workplace that resonates with today’s employees.
