Digital Experience And The Great Resignation (2021-2022)
A recently conducted survey carried out by Nexthink explored the various reasons behind the ‘Great Resignation’ or the ‘Big Quit’ which refers to the economic trend that is currently going on in the world across various industries in which employees are voluntarily leaving their jobs in masses. The trend began in early 2021, specifically in the United States of America but is quickly expanding across the world.
​
According to the survey results, the third biggest reason behind such a big number of resignations is poor IT experiences and the lack of good tech services. Poor salary and the unhealthy work environment were the first and second reasons, respectively.
​
The research also shows three important factors with regard to IT and employee productivity:
​
-
Employees were unwillingly and unknowingly reducing their own productivity by trying to fix IT problems that they were facing on their own. Only 15% of the respondents said that they got in touch with the IT team about their problems but most of them simply gave rebooting a shot or asked their colleague if they came across a similar problem and if they were able to solve it on their own.
-
Companies are willing and actually investing in the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) by having little to no clue about who is responsible for looking after it and measuring the results of the initiatives taken. 30% of the employees knew that IT was involved in setting up better DEX. However, 64% of the IT decision-makers knew that it was the role of their teams to look after improving DEX.
-
IT experience directly influences the employees’ recruitment recommendations. According to the survey, 42% of the employees said that their likelihood of suggesting the right kind of job-seekers to the organisation depends on the quality of the digital workforce they have around them.
Yassine Zaied, the Chief Strategy Officer at Nexthink talks about the importance of IT in improving employee experience in the middle of the pandemic:
​
“The ongoing pandemic and resulting remote work has brought employee experience issues to the forefront, specifically the role that IT plays in either assisting or hindering that experience as digital environments are the connective thread for enterprises… What’s concerning is that only 32 percent of employees were aware their company even had a dedicated digital employee experience resource within IT. Combined with employees stating they would leave their job because of a poor IT experience, in this time of the Great Resignation, businesses can’t risk this.”
