Candidates today make snap judgements about whether they want to go and work for an organisation – often based on the candidate experience. As a result, organisations enhance spend and increase activities to make the candidate experience as exciting and engaging as possible. Once a candidate becomes an employee, a lot of the aspects that played a role during their candidate journey evaporate. Speed, decisiveness, and gamification are often a long way away from the experience of an employee. The immediate impact: anticlimactic cognitive dissonance. So how do we manage to bring our candidate experience in line with our employee experience? This session will explore where experience design needs to start, why company values are so important in the design and how to approach technology to ensure it supports how candidates AS WELL AS employees experience our businesses.
Diversity in the workplace is all about creating an inclusive environment, accepting of every individual's difference, enabling all employees to achieve their full potential and as a result, allowing your business to reach its fullest potential.
