How to ensure a first-class employee experience

Research states that nearly 80% of engaged employees place more trust in their leaders. So, if you haven’t placed a priority on fostering a first-class employee experience, then there’s a good chance your workforce doesn’t trust you as much as you think they do (or need them to). This trust needs to start from day one and will ultimately help create more authentic connections between employees and their leaders right across an organisation.

Breaking their day up into slots of a few minutes each would be the equivalent of doing nothing.
