Employee Journey

Employee Journey

The employee journey refers to the various stages an employee goes through during their tenure with a company. This journey can be broken down into five different phases:

  • Recruitment
  • Onboarding
  • Retention
  • Development
  • Separation
Segment their employee base to create fitting groupings for people with similar responsibilities, personalities, etc.
Create a 5-step journey for each segment, including things like recognition, professional development, and compensation plans.
Implement the journey and seek feedback to refine.
Mapping the employee journey is a process that takes time and iterations to get right. The key is to make employees feel like there is a plan to help them succeed.
