To attract and retain top talents for survival and competitiveness, it is imperative for organisations today to relook how they address different areas of human resources. Traditionally, organisations invested in individual programmes that target culture, employee engagement, rewards and benefits, and learning and development in silos, often creating an inconsistency in the way employees experience the organisation as a whole.

In order to avoid such pitfalls, organisations need to pull all the different areas of human resources together and take a holistic approach in creating an overall employee experience—or as we call it, the Real® Organisational Experience—to meet the rising expectations of today’s talents. Doing so requires organisations to consider an employee’s journey with the organisation and carefully designing all its internal touch-points to provide the necessary positive experience that would increase the chances to retain these valued talents.
