451 Research: The Employee Experience. Commissioned by Citrix

What it looks like and why it's critical for your business success. 

People Are Any Company’s Most Valuable Asset. Employees who are intrinsically engaged in their work take their responsibilities more seriously, are more likely to generate new ideas about how best to do their work and find it easier to adapt to changing work plans when necessary. Engaged employees are also more personally invested in amplifying their employer’s brand within their social circle and in professional forums, and are
more likely to stay in their role and not look for a new position at another company.

The idea that people matter – and happy people matter tremendously – to the success of a business is slowly becoming more common. The more forward-looking companies don’t just see happy employees as a matter of expediency but as their principal organizational purpose: the maximization of human capital across their workforce is the societal goal they should strive to achieve, as well as the means by which they can increase profits.
