8:30 am - 9:15 am CDT Workshop | Unlock the Voice of the Employee & Drive Engagement Through Collaborative Design

In this collaborative workshop, you’ll learn what the design thinking process is and how to leverage Voice of the Employee (VoC) insights to inform actionable strategies and solutions that foster a more engaged and productive workforce. We'll explore methods for collecting and understanding VoE data, from informal channels and focus groups to formal surveys. Learn how to bring employees along on the journey–prototyping, testing ‘mock-ups,’ and iterating as you build solutions together. Ultimately, you’ll learn how to collaborate with your team to co-create rather than create for them and how this approach fosters stronger partnerships and results.


Key Takeaways:

-Understand the design thinking principles, processes, and techniques.

-Learn how to effectively gather and interpret employee feedback across multiple channels.

-Explore tools and techniques for gathering and interpreting employee feedback across multiple channels.

-Leverage VoE insights to co-design realistic solutions that improve employee retention, engagement, and satisfaction.
