How a financial services provider maintained a focus on people experience during a significant growth period, delivering targeted initiatives bespoke to their people's needs.

Stories of Success

Context & Challenge

A split site, financial services business aiming to evolve its people experience in the context of significant growth (in revenue and employees).

To transform the people experience through truly understanding the difference in experience that employees have across the business. To put insight into the hands of Leadership and its HRBPs to enable relevant targeted people experience initiatives.

The Approach & OUTCOME

In collaboration with the HR core team we designed the insight strategy to act in service of the new people experience program. Together we re-designed the data collection and insight consumption process to better fit the needs of the business.

We moved from from an annual survey with more than 70 questions that provided many pages of tables, metrics and stats to a bi-annual slimmed down survey, using our questions and analytics tools to understand what needed doing, which groups were having the best/worst experience and uncovering what could be done to learn from/resolve this.

Faster access to insight, fewer overwhelming tables, easily understood insight grounded in action. All focused on the areas that mattered to the employees and the business.

The Client Impact

Our Partner Pack – insight strategy analysis and delivery – interwoven into the program delivered:

  • An increase in the employee net promoter score (eNPS)
  • Reduced the workload of the HRBP’s we gave insights that directed initiatives and we shifted the focus from score based comparisons across teams to informing how greater support can be provided to improve people’s work experience.
  • A whole organisation leadership initiative informed by the lived experience of employees. Thus focusing the structure and the content bespoke to the needs of the business and its people
  • A business that better understood and heard the needs of its employees. This sense of recognition built trust as well as addressing their key blockers to engagement
