Employee Experience is at the forefront of the C-Suite agenda like never before. 59% of employees desire hybrid working, but despite increasingly flexible work policies, organisations continue to face unprecedent rates of burn out, and colleagues feel more disconnected than ever. Far more is needed to retain and attract talent, a true future workplace experience will separate the good from the great. In this session, Accenture will detail their Employee Experience Architecture framework for engineering next-generation employee experiences across the workforce, workspace and workplace.

The great resignation is far from over. To curb its scale, leaders are thinking about how to develop a sense of belonging among employees. Indeed, developing a sense of belonging at work not only increases cohesion among employees but it also gives employees a sense of purpose and meaning in their work. And one of the best conduits to achieve this is through the employee experience. Hence, we will explore, through a behavioural science lens, how companies can foster a best-in-class employee experience that puts belonging as its foundation.

A great workspace is about more than just beautiful views, modern interior design, and advanced technology. Truly humanised buildings focus on the end-to-end experience, delivering healthy, productive workspaces that connect people and bring together the best an organisation has to offer. This session explores how the use of IoT lays the groundwork for data-driven and human-centric workspace design.

To make data driven decisions on the optimization of their portfolio of more than 500 offices worldwide, Capgemini implemented a smart building solution based on LoRaWan technology and sensors. The real-time sensor data also enables their employees to easily find free desks or rooms. Today contract renewals result in an average decrease of 10% in floorspace, which saves Capgemini more than 50M$ per year.
