5 Ways You Can Inspire Employee Innovation in the Workplace

In today’s job market, there seems to be a shift in trends as to what creates a positive employee experience. In days past, employees searched mainly for stability and longevity. Though those are still important factors, millennial’s long for much more.

When attempting to create a positive employee experience, an employer must consider more than ever before. The best way to achieve this goal is to implement technology designed for just that. Here are a few popular ways that employers can enhance their employee experience.

Provide a sense of purpose and value to employees

Welcome to a new age in workplace satisfaction. Workers today long to know that their efforts on the job are meaningful. Rather than working for a paycheck, millennials need to know that they are making a tangible difference. Unlike earlier generations, a hearty retirement and the most expensive toys don’t seem to cut it, in place of self-worth and the reward of being part of something bigger.

A great way to engage this new culture of employees is to utilize software which allows for performance recognition, feedback, and positive reinforcement. Increase morale and foster a positive employee experience, with popular software such as 15Five and Kudos.

Map out a clear and flexible career path

Providing a way for employees to envision and plan for a career path within your company ensures that employees will more likely seek to advance within, rather than search for opportunities elsewhere.

Some software programs allow employees to combine their skills, education, values, and interests into a visible trajectory, which will lead them towards a goal. A visible path increases excitement and makes the goal feel more attainable. You can also offer learning and development programs to help sharpen the skills they’re fostering.

A positive employee experience is likely to be had by workers who feel motivated and productive. Try one of these programs to help your employees strive for more. Pathsavvy and Talentguard are great choices.

Offer flexibility

In the digital age, more employees are opting to work remotely. Tying to the millennial desire for meaningful endeavors, employees are seeking a more balanced lifestyle. This may look like avoiding a five-day commute or opting to work from their favorite coffee shop on occasion.

Luckily for all, it is achievable to monitor productivity and provide easy access to projects remotely. From a company owner’s perspective, this can also help with overhead costs of keeping an office open for the typical nine to five grind.

Store files in a virtual file cabinet by using cloud-based programs. This provides access to all from anywhere in the world, at any time. Some of the most used programs are Dropbox and Google Drive.

In addition to these options, meetings no longer need to be in person either. With a variety of options such as Zoom and GoToMeeting you can gather everyone without buying donuts!

When attempting to provide a positive employee experience, it’s important to remember why you are doing it. Appreciated, rested, and motivated employees perform better, according to many studies. This makes for a positive employer experience, as well.
