CEOs vote hybrid work flexibility as driver underpinning successful employee experience strategies
NTT , a leading IT infrastructure and services company , has unveiled the findings of its 2023 Global Employee Experience Trends Report , exploring how current workplace trends , such as hybrid work and AI , are influencing EX strategies and the correlation between EX and business performance .
The report found that while 90 % of businesses see the enablement of hybrid and remote work as having a positive impact on their bottom line , less than half ( 48 %) of organisations strongly agree that employees have access to the technology they need to work well both at home and in the office .
Many organisations are now implementing more structured approaches to work , with the report finding that approximately 56 % of hybrid workers spend half the work week at the office . However , with hybrid models still favourable and recognised by the majority of business leaders as fundamental to positive EX , organisations need to ensure they are providing employees with the technologies they need to work effectively , regardless of location . This shows how the EX-narrative has evolved over the last several years . Today , it is a business-wide priority to proactively ensure employees are empowered and have the right technologies in place to feel connected and drive efficiency .
Top-performing companies that increased their IT spend and invested in EX technology were 56 % more likely than underperformers to report improved business growth due to improvements to EX , and 89 % more likely than all others to have significantly increased employee satisfaction .
