Today’s employee experience leaders are navigating a puzzle of heightened expectations and global challenges — translating data into insights, scaling employee experiences, enhancing employee recognition, improving onboarding processes, to name a few. Each new challenge adds another piece to an already intricate picture.
But what if they didn’t have to solve it alone?
The heads of employer brand and recruitment marketing at 40+ of the world’s largest companies have joined the Employee Experience Board, a home for unbiased, real-time benchmarking.
This private, vendor-free peer group offers year-round, expertly facilitated discussions and insights to help employee experience leaders stay ahead, adapt swiftly, and make informed decisions. Designed for busy professionals, it ensures every interaction is valuable.
But how do we actually solve the problems keeping employee experience leaders up at night? Let’s walk through how we support senior leaders every day.
1. Personalized, Full-time Support to Solve Your Biggest Challenges
Our Membership Directors act as expert advisors offering personalized, full-time support, and they don’t stop until members get the answers they need.
As Membership Director for the Employee Experience Board, Andi Del Collins assesses members’ strategies, priorities, and roadblocks and identifies areas where the community can help.
She knows the exact challenges members are facing and how to facilitate the one-on-one connections and nowhere-else conversations to solve them.
All members need to do is ask a question, and Membership Directors take care of the rest.
2. We Turn Your Employee Experience Questions into Immediate Value
The only thing certain in leading employee experiences is uncertainty. It can often feel like piecing together a puzzle without having the full picture in front of you.
When you’re constantly facing new hurdles and challenges, you need answers in hours or days, not weeks. That’s why the Employee Experience Board offers fast, efficient, and unlimited service.
Plus, members set the agenda. Unlike conferences or webinars, where the conversations are designed to increase attendance, our calls and discussion topics are hand-curated by Membership Directors on demand based on members’ most pressing needs.
3. How Members Use Unique Access to Expert Knowledge for a Competitive Edge
The resources that are available through the Employee Experience Board can’t be found anywhere else. But what does personalized support look like for members at a practical level?
The real-world solutions come from real conversations with peers who truly understand the complexities.
Recently, an Employee Experience Board member at a financial services company reached out through the community’s private question and answer forum for support on how to keep employees who don’t live near their main offices connected.
That member shared how they have three offices that serve as hubs where employees can come into the office and interact with one another.
However, a significant portion of their employee population doesn’t live near these hubs and work remotely, with only occasional trips into the office for team building and connection (one-to-three times per year).
This leader was concerned about retention and how to keep these employees connected.
That Board Member posted their challenge in our online member forum, and within 24 hours, they heard back from four EX leaders at major brands with detailed responses, examples, and resources on how they tackle this.
Their ideas ranged from going all out for holiday celebrations, having Zoom options for major events, offering fitness classes in multiple locations, and more.
That member was able to take these insights to their leadership and provide a robust list of options that they could apply to their employee experience strategy.
4. Answers to Your Questions Come from Leaders at the World’s Biggest Companies
Not all peer groups set strict membership criteria. In fact, many have little or no restrictions around seniority or company size.
Only heads of employee experience at large enterprises and their senior team members are allowed in the Employee Experience Board. We don’t allow the conversations to be diluted by insights that aren’t relevant to your role.
Above all, we never allow vendors, agencies, or consultants to participate (Though, we talk about them all the time). It’s paramount to keeping the community unbiased and candid.
Every answer in our community comes from people like you — senior leaders at companies like yours, with problems like yours.
Employee Experience Board Founding Members include: American Family Insurance, Clorox, Fidelity Investments, Freeman, Grainger, Kimberley-Clark, Lincoln Financial Group, Sherwin-Williams, Signet Jewelers, Target, Toyota, United Airlines, UnitedHealth Group, and Zurich North America, and more.
5. A Chance to Connect with Your Peers In-Person at our Board Meetings
On top of the year-round support members have access to, we also bring senior leaders together in person at our Board Meetings.
We know there are a lot of conferences and events to choose from, but our Board Meetings stand out — people have even postponed honeymoons to be there!
It’s a unique opportunity to connect with other senior decision-makers leading strategies like yours. Just the community, vendors are never allowed to join, and the conversations are always off-the-record.
At the 2024 Employee Experience Board Meeting, members benchmarked how to build a cross-functional steering committee to guide EX programming, unify global employee recognition strategies, optimize employee onboarding, and more.
