#3 How to design a unique employee experience?
With Magali Demierre, Global Head of Employee Experience at Philip Morris International (PMI).
For this exciting new episode of FutureReady, we focus on something that has undergone significant changes in recent years: the workplace. To understand how to stay ahead of the game in this transformative age, we consult with thought leaders in the field of workplace culture.
At a time when we see employees becoming a scarce resource, organizations need to do more to attract and retain the best talents. To shift away from standard employee engagement tactics, and move towards creating a holistic employee experience from hire to retire.
To help us dive into this topic, we spoke to Magali Demierre, the Global Head of Employee Experience at Philip Morris International (PMI), who explains the importance of the emerging concept of Employee Experience.
