A company’s Experience Ecosystem™ can be a vast and complex thing. But where exactly does the employee experience fit in, how does it impact the overall environment – and what can leaders do to shape an employee experience that works in tandem with the rest of the ecosystem? Join Shawn Nason and Mark Rickmeier to explore how remote work has altered the employee experience, why experiences are more impactful for employees than fancy offices and other perks, and what employers can do to start going beyond basic DEI initiatives and shape a truly effective Experience Ecosystem™.In This Episode[[[[[[[[[[[What we learned from MarkYou can do more in-depth experiences around bringing people together than you could just shopping money and rent where it's gonna sit empty most of the time for most of the people.Using rent to foster connection is a stupid use of resources these days.The value of “Cooperatition”.You should have a dedicated budget and leaders who are getting trained in DEI.Take things that are implicit and make them very explicit.Busy is the new stupid.Notable quotes[08:32] - “You need to have everything easily accessible to improve transparency and equitable access to everyone.”[10:40] - “Unlearn and let go of some of the things that historically worked to experiment and find new things that work.”[27:00] - “The most important way to learn is through admitting and owning up to failure.” [28:52] - “Your time as a leader is not just when you’re busy doing a bunch of things.”Our guestMark Rickmeier is the Chief Executive Officer at TXI, a product innovation company.
