Only 19% of people are working on co-located teams and 66% are working on cross-functional and/or geographically distributed teams.

THE FORTUNE 500 SPENDS AN ESTIMATED $2 TRILLION ON THEIR PEOPLE. Yet, the latest estimates tell us that only about 20% of employees are highly engaged and just 13% are fully satisfied with their experience.

The Employee Experience (EX) movement promised a better work experience, but it has unfortunately failed to deliver and employees are overwhelmed by an amusement park arcade of incongruous programs and technology. One of the reasons for this EX crisis is that the delivery of various experience elements is siloed and inside-out, rather than holistic and outside-in. There must be a better way, but we are going to have to get radical to find it.
