We've experienced the pandemic, remote working, 4-day weeks, quiet-quitting, social media boycotts, greenwashing, an office perks arms race and a new wave of Gen Z recruits arriving with a new set of expectations. Whitter is a savvy guide who navigates all these issues, through the lens of his Employee Experience philosophy."" * Dougal Shaw, Author, CEO Secrets, Digital Business Reporter, BBC News * ""Ben Whitter offers a powerful blend of inspiration and actionability, contributing to our quest for even more people-centricity."" * Claude Rumpler, Chief People Experience Officer, L’Oréal * ""EX has become the best retention policy around and a must for any organization.

Don't miss the opportunity to benefit from Ben Whitter's outstanding contribution and elevate your organization to new heights."" * Marcelo Natalini, Dean, Latam Business School, Mexico * ""Employee Experience is a very basic concept, intuitive to all of us who have experiences as employees, as customers and as people. But how do you take such a simple idea to a strategic level to the benefit of employees and companies alike? That is where this book comes in, with all its fresh insights, inconvenient truths and aha-moments, Ben Whitter shows the way forward for HR and creates enthusiasm for the journey ahead."" * Timothy Vermeir, Editor-in-Chief, HR Square * ""Employee Experience can be a challenging concept to advance and implement in any organization. Ben Whitter has a gift for taking complexity and translating it into meaningful actions that any practitioner can follow. In Employee Experience Strategy, Ben equips readers with thought provoking questions, necessary mindsets for change and guidance on how to co-create an employee experience anchored in caring for employees and in business outcomes."" * Christina Chateauvert Ph.D., Senior Manager of Employee Experience, Insurance Industry * ""The profound impact of Ben's work on my career and the affirmation it has provided for my decision to work in the field of employee experience, cannot be overstated.
