Connecting UX & EX: A Better Experience for Everyone
About this Presentation
Leveraging user insights, data collection, research, and iterative development through formal feedback loops is common practice when honing your user experience. So, why isn’t that the case when building internal structures? These same approaches apply to optimizing team function, the internal brand and working experience. This approach is critical now more than ever, since remote work has reached a tipping point – with the inability to formally address company culture and employee experience as issues arise around the office. By shaping employee experience with thoughtfully designed structures, insights around motivators and pain points, as well as feedback informing an improvement loop, a better experience can result across functions. Common UX tools like personas, journey mapping, and contextual feedback can be applied to internal teams to increase productivity, raise levels of job satisfaction and improve overall business performance.

“I had the rare privilege of joining the same team as Kelly at about the same time. We got to work alongside each other redesigning and rebuilding a company brand and online presence from the ground up. Her skillsets transcend just design and user experience, but get deeper into the psychology of the user and bigger vision for the business. She is powerhouse that delivers at a dizzying pace, and empathetic and powerful leader in her space. I would jump at the chance to work with her again.”
