Candidate and Employee Experience Planning

Candidate and Employee Experience Planning

Employees are the heart of your company, whether you have 10 or 1,000 of them. Candidate and employee experience planning helps you develop a plan to improve how your current employees feel about their roles and how candidates move through the hiring and onboarding process. The goal of employee experience planning is to increase your business’s talent acquisition and retention. The longer engaged, talented employees stay with your company, the lower your hiring costs and the better your team’s morale can be.

SD Mayer offers hiring and employee experience services to help increase your company’s retention rates and align with your business goals. If you’ve been struggling to hire the right team members or keep people once you’ve hired them, turn to us for assistance.

Why Improve the Hiring Process?

When your company posts a job opening, you want to find and hire the most qualified candidate who’s also a good fit for your business’s culture. The hiring process starts with locating and attracting the right candidates, then screening and interviewing applicants. The process finishes with selecting and hiring a new employee.

As there are many steps in the process, there are many opportunities for things to go off course. Improving your process keeps your team aligned with your company’s mission and goals and makes it easier to find the right person for the job.

Improving the hiring process can involve:

Identifying the ideal person for the job.
Determining where to advertise the open position.
Creating a detailed job description for each role.
Developing a consistent screening and interview process.
Checking references and performing background checks.

Why Improve Employee Experience?

Once your company has hired candidates, ideally, they’ll continue to work for your company for as long as possible. High turnover rates aren’t good for your business’s finances and can lead to decreased employee morale.

One way to increase retention rates is to improve the employee experience. Employee experience includes every interaction employees have with your company, from their interactions with their managers and co-workers to the overall business culture. It also includes employees’ experiences with technology and tools.

Improving employee experience starts with developing a strategy. With an employee experience strategy, your company can see an improvement in your team’s productivity and satisfaction with their work. An employee experience strategy can include:

Rewarding high-performing team members.
Developing training and leadership programs.
Finding ways to use technology to meet employees’ needs.
Streamlining and improving the recruitment process.
Soliciting employee feedback and implementing it into the strategy.
