Top Strategies for Creating an Employee-focused Digital Workplace

Access the on-demand webinar, which was delivered live on May 5, 2022.

The adage “that which does not kill us makes us stronger” fits well for today’s workplace model.

Workplace leaders, like you, are now able to focus more on creating an experience-centric workplace, underpinned by empathy, delivering superior user performance and job satisfaction.

In this on-demand webinar, our experts explore in-depth coverage of the digital workplace segment and outline key UX challenges and mitigation frameworks for UX measurement and management that you can take advantage of today.

The on-demand webinar covers:

Complexities associated with measuring UX
Key focus areas of a holistic UX measurement framework
Key UX challenges and recommendations on moving to an XLA-based pricing model
Key recommendations for UX management
