  • Employee Experience, Human factors, Onboarding, Psychology and Human Behavior, Wireframes

Employee JM allows to analyze all the touchpoints between the employee and the company, identify particular moments that matter, and transform them into the wow-moments.

Article by Dzhannet Kashurnikova
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Employee Journey Mapping
  • Human Resources Department turns to Employee Experience in many companies. There are reasons for it: employers should meet millennials’ expectations from work, employee experience is directly connected to that of the client, there is a correlation between employee involvement and efficiency, employee innovation potential can be unleashed by implementing an employee experience approach.
  • 7 STEPS TOWARDS EFFICIENT EJM
    1. Identify your focus. CJM can be used in a particular area of interest within the HR framework or the whole trajectory of an employee in the company, including the employee’s “transition points” from one status to another.
    1. Identify your research audience and make a map of respondents. First, identify 2 types of respondents: stakeholders and users. Users can also be split into 2 categories: ideal user and extreme user.
    1. Make the interview-guide. Make your interview sound more like a conversation and do not turn it into an interrogation. Keep track of the purposes of the study and focuses of attention, but remember, that the questions do not necessarily have to appear in the predefined order.
    1. Conduct the interview. Dos: ask open questions, try to find the underlying cause, turn to the real experience of the person. Don’ts: merge several questions in one, ask hypothetical or projective questions, avoid pauses.
    1. Adapt the EJM template to your needs. Remember the four key components to your penalized EJM: actions performed by the person, the time required for action, the emotional response of the person, the person’s quotes.
    1. Analyze the results that you get. Things to pay attention to when working with the map: user experience gaps, time to take the steps, negative/positive remarks, and the emotional condition of the person.
    1. Regularly update EJM. It is a dynamic tool that will allow you to ‘feel your user’.
  • EJM Tools. Pen and paper for quick jobs and notes. Excel (google spreadsheet) for teamwork, data processing, and analytics. Miro to visualize the map or present the results to the team.

  • Behavioral Science, Business UX Leaders, Consumer products, Customer Experience, E-commerce, Psychology and Human Behavior, Strategy, Technology, Vendor-Client Relationships

During the current pandemic, some of the world’s biggest brands started online stores. But will the popularity of this purchasing model last as shops start to reopen?

Article by Nick Easen
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Big brands go direct to the consumer in a crisis
  • Spurred by the coronavirus pandemic, some of the worlds biggest brands are opening online stores serving products direct to customers’ homes
  • PepsiCo, Nestlé and Heinz all launched direct-to-consumer (D2C) offerings in lockdown, appealing to those who couldn’t leave their home, but were dead set on their favorite ketchup or kombucha brand.
  • Newly hatched D2C brands are now creating their own databases, analyzing behavioral and sales data to maximize marketing and profits. They are A/B testing – comparative user-experience research – new offers online and using their websites as labs for product research and development.
  • What the pandemic has taught many companies is D2C e-commerce isn’t just for smarter speciality startups that don’t want legacy retail and big overheads; it’s for all brands looking to drive preference, loyalty and repeat sales through a directly owned relationship.
  • “We believe there will be a ‘lockdown loyalty effect’. Consumers will remember the brands and retailers that got them through the darkest lockdown days,” Hugh Fletcher, global head of innovation at Wunderman Thompson Commerce concludes.
