Everything OD or HR does will tend to have a clear line of sight to business results and with employee experience, it’s no different. In actuality though – employees, managers and HR execs are spending far too much time with non-value adding activities. Threatens both employee engagement and broader business value, as effortless experiences take undesirable paths. People & Automation: Make it work and pay Automating for effortless experiences decreases HR function costs; as less staff involve themselves trying to compensate for the lack of effortlessness. Experiences at touchpoints are supported by new, cloud-based HRIT systems and shouldn’t this improve end-user adoption of the system? Not so. There are massive opportunities, impact, and investment being wasted. Some 26% of total investment in new cloud HRIS is at risk, due to lower than expected end-user adoption. Primarily because the way people experience the new system isn’t as “effortless” as it could be.
