When it comes to our learning and development, books still have a vitally important role to play, equipping us with rich insights, valuable knowledge and powerful frameworks – as well as enabling us to raise the professional bar, grow and thrive.
So, we’re celebrating this year’s World Book Day (7th March) with a shout out to some of the incredible EX-focused authors and thought leaders we’ve worked with, starting with one of our own….
Emma Bridger & Belinda Gannaway: Champions of Employee Experience Design
Emma Bridger and Belinda Gannaway have recently unveiled the much-anticipated second edition of their ground-breaking book, Employee Experience by Design. By setting out simple steps that any team or organization can follow, they demystify EX, and show how to design an exceptional experience for employees. Drawing on positive psychology, the book demonstrates what a good workplace experience means for people and, more importantly, how to create one that’s right for your organisation.
We’ll be running a free webinar on 26th March, where you can hear directly from the authors – find out more or secure your place here.
