Employee Experience Playlist

"I guess I'll know when I get there. I'm learning to fly around the clouds."

- Tom Petty, Learning to Fly

I started a new learning experience last week - a hybrid course of online modules with group meetings and homework.

I've had some really vulnerable moments AND some really awesome "success moments" as I've begun to apply my learning.

It got me to musing about the journey people go through once they join an organization - well beyond onboarding.

You and I know it as the Employee Experience, which as you may know, is my area of passion as a Talent Management consultant and mentor.

• From applying for the job

• to the interview jitters

• to the delight of receiving an offer letter

• to the resignation letter at your current company

• to the first day jitters

• to being a student again as you ramp up and learn all the things

• to getting into a rut for awhile

• to having a conflict with a coworker or boss

• to going on that game-changing course

• to getting chosen for a key project

• to hoping for that raise or promotion

• and so on...

It's a roller coaster!

My teenaged son Patrick just landed his first not-temporary part-time job, and I already see him going through some of these ups and downs just with the onboarding. He hasn't even started the actual job!

So anyways, I got to fooling around on Spotify today, picking songs that reflect (for me) the range of emotion and learning that make up the employee experience.

And then it occurred to me that I might share it with YOU 🙂
