Employee EX vs. Employee Engagement — Why Does It Matter?
Put simply, Experience drives Engagement — not the other way around.
Experience is about shaping what will happen — it’s proactive instead of reactive. An employee’s experience of work drives their level of engagement (not the other way around).
Engagement is a measure of the degree to which an employee is willing and able to be their best at work — it’s a byproduct and outcome of the employee’s experience of work.
Every Moment Matters — from Onboarding to Offboarding
​
Each moment at work can have a positive, neutral or negative impact on employees. When employees have a great experience, it’s because most of the moments involved were positive and few, if any, were negative.
​
EX is the intersection of employees’ expectations, their environment and the events that shape their journey within an organization. Consider this example:
​
“One of my most memorable recent experiences happened while I was traveling for work. I had found my way to a sports bar near my hotel to grab some dinner and watch a basketball game. It was a nice place with all the necessities — friendly staff, good food and big TVs.
“About 30 minutes into my visit, a man stopped beside me to chat about the basketball game I was watching. He introduced himself as the owner of the restaurant. We talked for a couple minutes, then he said “Thank you for coming in tonight. I really appreciate your business.” Then he headed off to greet other guests.
“He stopped by a few more times before I left to check on me. Each time, he thanked me for my business. It felt very genuine and heartfelt. I left the restaurant that night feeling more valued as a customer than probably ever before. It was a great experience. I’ll go back any time I am in the city.”
Every experience we have, whether at a restaurant or during a day at work, is made up of a series of moments that together shape how we feel about the experience. At its core, creating a good experience is about creating positive moments and eliminating negative ones.
