The Cornerstones of The Experience Lab Success:
Communications Strategy
Discovery & Development
Our collaboration kicks off with a dynamic strategy workshop that is specifically designed to support your company’s culture, benefits program objectives, and employee engagement needs.
This step is vital for understanding your unique challenges and success benchmarks. Aligning our strategy to your goals is a top priority, and we approach this task with focus and precision.
During the workshop, we’ll conduct a comprehensive SWOT analysis to identify communication gaps, explore omni-channel opportunities, and define your company’s success metrics. The Experience Lab team will use their expertise in creative design and employee engagement to craft a tailor-made plan to bring your strategy to life.
Employee Value Proposition and Strategic Framework
During the workshop, our experts guide your team to creating an employee value proposition that demonstrates the unique value you offer your employees. This includes components like benefits, total rewards, career development, and work-life balance, as well as your company’s culture, mission, and core values. Gartner reports that an effective EVP can lower annual employee turnover by as much as 69%.
Strategy and Success Metrics Deep Dive
The Experience Lab team will lead your team through a deep dive into the strategic process of developing and implementing key performance indicators that align with your company’s core objectives. Success metrics not only enable us to monitor the effectiveness of our communications strategies, but they also provide the opportunity to assess and finetune the employee experience and journey on a continual basis.
Action Planning and Execution
Facilitated by our expert consultants who specialize in communications, benefits strategy and engagement, and creative technology, these sessions include interactive brainstorming exercises that foster creative thinking and collaborative problem-solving. The outcome is a robust strategic annual communications plan with actionable steps, prioritized engagement initiatives, customized assets, and clear milestones for achieving short-term and long-term goals.
Continuous Improvement Through Analytics
Quarterly Lab Reports & Recalibrations
An integral component of The Experience Lab is our team’s direct access to real-time analytics and feedback mechanisms. This invaluable resource empowers us to continuously assess the effectiveness of our communications and engagement strategies, enabling our team to implement data-driven adjustments seamlessly throughout the year.
Harnessing these actionable insights, we curate a Quarterly Lab Report for our clients, encapsulating progress metrics, pivotal insights, and strategic recommendations. This iterative approach ensures a continual enhancement of your employee experience and engagement journey.
Unlock the full potential of your benefits program
A creative benefits strategy is only effective if your employees are aware and engaged with what’s being offered to them. The Experience Lab team offers an innovative approach to creating your communication strategy and a diverse range of custom content options specifically tailored to your company’s needs, such as digital benefit guides, targeted email campaigns, educational videos, and more!
