Transform the employee experience

How HR departments manage their employees’ physical and mental wellbeing has never been more under the spotlight.

The impact of Covid-19 on employees’ personal and work lives is leading to anxiety, frustration and burnout. For employees in many organisations, this is a time of great uncertainty. COVID-19 is changing the way people work, with travel bans, reduced staff numbers, remote work and social distancing becoming the new norms.

These new, and sometimes unsettling changes, can affect an employees work, productivity and engagement levels – influencing an organisation’s ability to survive in these difficult times. HR teams must look at ways to transform the employee’s experience to keep people engaged, productive and motivated in these uncertain times.

Transforming the employee experience is about more than supporting your employees on a personal basis. It is about providing your employees with a working environment that naturally encourages productivity and learning. It is about empowering people with self-service tools that empower them to access the information they require.

Dynamics 365 Human Resources, formerly Dynamics 365 Talent, is packed with capabilities that help HR leaders transform the employee experience by:

  • Fostering employee connections with rich employee profiles that include career accomplishments, skills, certifications and interests.
  • Providing employees self-service capability to manage their profile updates, training and development, performance-tracking, goal setting and time-off requests.
  • Empowering managers with team performance details, feedback and business process automation for routine tasks. This helps managers to optimise team impact and address any immediate concerns.
  • Helping employees grow with training and certification tracking. Learning and development for furloughed employees is a great way to keep your people motivated during these difficult times. HR leaders can add

LinkedIn Learning, that offers online training courses and content taught by industry experts across the globe.
