The Employee Experience: How to Attract Talent, Retain Top Performers, and Drive Results by Matthew Wride, Tracy Maylett
3.0
I began reading this book as the organization that I work for was going through some change. While the team I work on has a history of growth opportunities, structure, supportive supervisors, empowerment, and connection; the rest of the organization is struggling to find a meaningful brand and company culture that would inspire loyalty.
My first job out of college was as an analyst/project manager for DecisionWise, the consulting firm that wrote this book. Since I moved on in my career, many years ago, DW has grown a lot, adopted a few new theories and acronyms, but still uses similar, trustworthy survey tools to uncover employee experience truths.
In the end, this book pinpointed areas of concern in my current employer through stories and theories, but I didn't feel like it gave me actionable tools as a non-manager employee to propose solutions. I would recommend it if you were in a position to encourage change but didn't know where to start.
