DEX before day one – your intranet’s missed opportunity

Presentation from DEX 2019


Topic

If you think DEX starts on your employee’s first day, think again. With nearly half of all businesses planning to invest in new on-boarding systems in the next two years (source: Fosway Group), are you risking a missed opportunity to maximise the role and value of your intranet?

Ex-Global Talent Manager turned Digital Change Consultant, Nigel Williams, will change the way you view the pre-boarding experience.

We’ll examine approaches from the cutting edge of tech at Sony PlayStation in Silicon Valley, through to the low tech of refugee camps at IRC, with a host of others including Step Two 2019 Gold Award Winner, Travelex.

This session will enable you to:

  • create immediately engaging on-boarding content using the 60 Winks method
  • deliver a welcome experience that excites new starters, following Equinox’s lead
  • measure the impact of your work to judge success
  • immerse your new starter in your business and culture before they even walk through the door, reducing early churn
  • transform day one from policy reading to a true introduction to your organisation  #MakeDayOneMoreFun
