6. Human Resources
We have been focusing more and
more on employee engagement.
We need more than policies; we
need to help people adhere.
We need to make it easier for
employees to get support.
Hybrid work and new recruiting
demands require change.
7. Pain Points & Challenges
• Limitations of tooling today.
• Understanding the tools available for HR.
• Current processes are disjointed – would love to centralize and integrate.
What are some of the pain points and challenges we would like to discuss today?

Jacob Morgan in “The Employee Experience Advantage” suggests three environments that support and reinforce each other.

get working for your

work
The tools

Most of the dissatisfaction in
meetings comes from not
collaborating enough before
it, after it, or in a different
way during it. Meetings are
important but they are often
overused and used poorly.
Today Microsoft not only matches this need with great experiences but even adds intelligence to
those experiences to improve collaboration further whether for the individual, team or org.

Important Stages to Improve
140. The Metaverse can have a long-lasting impact on culture. But it’s
not clear. At this stage we can work to understand and align
current impact.
• Provide a feeling of togetherness when working alone.
• Having “presence” has not always been equitable.
• Not all of us can afford clothing, good lighting or camera systems.
• No legs may be more inclusive (i.e. wheelchair user).
• Figure or ‘body size’ in VR.
• Immersive technology can be costly (flat screen experience matters).
• Audio cues and avatar hand movements to start, but mimicking
facial movements and more matters long term.
