Employee Experience Trends w/ Ben Kalevi...

THE HR GAZETTE
About this episode

In this HRchat episode, we look at the latest analysis of the labor market and the factors that can drive employee experience.

Bill's guest this time is Ben Kalevitch, Executive Vice President at United Minds, a Weber Shandwick consultancy that helps organizations deliver positive, lasting change by combining data-fueled strategies and creative communications solutions.

As the leader of United Minds’ insight and strategy function, Ben develops plans that support their clients’ people and business objectives.

Questions For Ben Include:

  • The employee experience is top of mind for everyone right now. It seems like every business conversation revolves around The Great Resignation or the Big Quit or the Talent War. The language is very dramatic. What’s going on?
  • In general terms, how different are the movement of labor and the ways employees want to work post-Covid compared to other big shifts? 
  • United Minds recently published a global research report on the factors that really drive employee experience. Presumably, The Great Resignation was the impetus for the study? Can you tell us a little about it -the structure, the size, the sample?
  • What were the most surprising things you saw in the results?
  • Fairness is something you noticed in the study. Can you talk more about the definition of fairness today? 
  • How universal are the findings – do they apply to certain markets or certain employee segments, or to everyone?
  • Based on what you learned, what would you advise organizations to start doing?
