Employee experience: dove sbagliano le aziende
Nuove ricerche offrono risposte sorprendenti Ethan Bernstein, Michael Horn, Bob Moesta La cosiddetta guerraper i talenti continua a infuriare. Ma in questa contesa i datori di lavoro continuano ad affidarsi alle stesse strategie che usano da decenni per assumere e trattenere i dipendenti, anche se quegli approcci non funzionano: magari possono riuscire a indurli a rimanere un po’ più a lungo di quanto avrebbero fatto altrimenti, ma alla fine se ne vanno comunque.
L’inserimento dei nuovi dipendenti in un ambiente di lavoro ibrido
DURANTE LA PANDEMIA, in tutto il mondo le aziende hanno esplorato nuovi modi di lavorare che hanno messo in discussione presupposti e convinzioni di lunga data sul luogo di lavoro. Molte aziende, tra cui Microsoft, hanno visto i vantaggi del lavoro flessibile, e hanno voluto offrire ai dipendenti la possibilità di continuare a lavorare in un ambiente ibrido, bilanciando al contempo le esigenze dell’organizzazione.
Onboarding New Employees in a Hybrid Workplace
As you’re navigating hybrid work, it’s a good moment to assess how your onboarding processes enable or empower your new hires to thrive. Researchers at Microsoft have conducted and identified studies that suggest that onboarding to a new role, team, or company is a key moment for building connections with the new manager and team and doing so a few days in person provides unique benefits. But just requiring newcomers to be onsite full time doesn’t guarantee success.
Più del 50% dei manager si sente esaurito
SECONDO L’ULTIMO Work Trend Index di Microsoft, un’indagine globale sui lavoratori di diversi settori e aziende pubblicata nel settembre 2022, più della metà dei manager (53%) dichiara di sentirsi esaurito sul lavoro. È una statistica sconcertante e leggermente superiore a quella dei dipendenti in generale. Tuttavia non è sorprendente.
More Than 50% of Managers Feel Burned Out
According to Microsoft’s most recent Work Trend Index — a global survey of workers across multiple industries and companies published in September 2022 — more than half of managers (53%) report feeling burned out at work. This statistic is staggering, and slightly higher than employees in general. However, it is not surprising.

Why Microsoft Measures Employee Thriving, Not Engagement
One thing is clear: None of us are the same people today as we were prior to 2020. So, as our employees change, the ways we can best empower them need to evolve, too. At Microsoft, where we work on the People Analytics team, that means learning what the data can tell us about how our employees aspire to live their lives meaningfully. In particular, we landed on a new way of measuring thriving, at both work and outside of it, that goes beyond engagement only.
Hybrid Tanked Work-Life Balance. Here’s How Microsoft Is Trying to Fix It.
After Microsoft employees went virtual during the Covid-19 pandemic, company research found that employees’ satisfaction with work-life balance dropped by 13 percentage points. Why? Unsustainable work practices that kept them tethered to technology. To improve well-being, the company uncovered the root causes — always-on collaboration, a lack of focus time, and unused vacation and time away — and set about remedying them.

Can You Be Too Well Connected?
D-BASE/Getty Images Some people are better networkers than others. Most of us can identify the person in our department who seems to know more people, know more about people, and know information sooner than their colleagues. But for the first time, I and my fellow researchers have been able to quantify connectedness at work and more accurately identify its benefits — and pitfalls. We were able to do this thanks to a new form of measurement.
Every New Employee Needs an Onboarding “Buddy”
ThomasVogel/Getty Images Bringing a new employee onboard is both an exciting and stressful time. And while managers play a critical role in shaping a new employees’ first weeks and months, a broader team effort can ensure the experience is both positive and productive. Over the last few years, Microsoft has been working to improve its onboarding process.
Why unplugging from work is more work than we think
Unplugging from work: most of us probably think we do it—maybe we believe we’re pretty good at it. During our personal time we tuck our phones away and turn off our notifications. Maybe we’re even disciplined enough to not send an email during off-hours. A whole economy has sprung up, from digital detox camps for adults to gatekeeping apps to control our screen time, to help us detach.
To Retain New Hires, Make Sure You Meet with Them in Their First Week
First impressions in the workplace really matter — and not just to the employer. New employees can begin to formulate impressions about organizations from the get-go, influencing their decision to stay with the company in the long term. Poor onboarding experiences can lead to unnecessary and preventable turnover, the cost of which can be as much as twice the employee’s annual salary.
