Employees want to be recognised for their own interests and skills. There is a growing desire for businesses to take an employee-centric approach and provide a positive work experience for their workforce.

Our People Profession survey 2020 shows that improving the employee experience is a key focus for the vast majority of businesses. To engage staff and maintain an efficient and competitive organisation, people professionals must balance personalisation of the working relationship with financial priorities.
