Nexthink is the global leader in digital employee experience management. The company’s products allow enterprises to create highly productive digital workplaces for their employees by delivering optimal end-user experiences. Through a unique combination of real-time analytics, automation and employee feedback across all endpoints, Nexthink helps IT teams meet the needs of the modern digital workplace.

Industry understands the value of an efficient IT system now more than ever and companies are putting their money where their mouth is: Statista reports that global IT spending will hit $4.21 trillion in 2021. Yet despite this financial investment, results don’t always materialize. In fact, McKinsey estimates that 70% of all Digital Transformation projects fail. To generate real value, companies need to be focused on meaningful outcomes, not just metric outputs.  A key challenge is that many companies are restricted within their established IT goals, only able to assess current performance and not look toward improvement. Traditional service level agreements (SLAs) target pre-determined goals and existing processes, which forces IT teams to be reactive when employees raise issues. As workplaces embrace hybrid models long-term, creating superior digital employee experiences and practicing proactive IT strategies will become even more critical to company success.  This is where experience level agreements (XLAs) have the opportunity to make a real impact. In episode six of Nexthink’s Digital Employee Experience: The New Way of Working series, Nexthink and experts will be discussing how. Join us to hear:  -What an XLA model looks like -How businesses can use an XLA model to disrupt stagnant workflows and identify growth opportunities, without derailing current operations -The value of shifting your IT strategy from reactive to proactive when it comes to employee experience -How an XLA approach supports continuous service improvement -The business impact of focusing on outcome, not output, for IT management, service owners, IT employees and end users -Using SLAs and XLAs in combination to cover all bases, eliminating the need for “rip and replace” tactics

[Ep.6] The Proactive IT Play: Swapping SLA Outputs for XLA Outcomes

As Covid-19 restrictions begin to ease, Gartner estimates that by 2022, 25% of the global workforce will choose their home as their primary workplace. And with 45% of workers predicted to be working from home two to three days per week, businesses and employees alike are starting to enter the era of the hybrid workplace.   As they prepare to usher in this new model of working, IT teams must once again adapt, evolve, and innovate to ensure a positive, seamless Digital Employee Experience - wherever the employees are.   In episode 5 of ‘Digital Employee Experience: The New Way of Working’ Nexthink and guest experts will guide you through:   What great Digital Employee Experience in the hybrid world looks like - Essential considerations IT leaders need to be aware of to ensure they’re creating an agile, secure and productive workplace, regardless of employees’ location - Best practices for a seamless end-to-end Digital Employee Experience, from new employee onboarding to Help Desk support  - Use cases that show how IT can solve the most frequent challenges of the hybrid workplace  in order to provide a frictionless IT experience to their employees - Why a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer optimal in the hybrid world and how to leverage a more tailored, personalized approach to IT in order to boost employee engagement

[Ep.5] Driving Digital Synergy: Hybrid Work and Digital Employee Experience

What great Digital Employee Experience in the hybrid world looks like
- Essential considerations IT leaders need to be aware of to ensure they’re creating an agile, secure and productive workplace, regardless of employees’ location

in order to provide a frictionless IT experience to their employees
- Why a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer optimal in the hybrid world and how to leverage a more tailored, personalized approach to IT in order to boost employee engagement

Employees aren’t reading emails, and they aren’t submitting IT tickets. In 2021, a reactive service desk is too reliant on employees to log issues, respond to tickets or change their behavior. This firefighting approach wastes time information gathering and troubleshooting, leaving no time to proactively identify issues and solve them at scale. 

When a service desk is proactive, IT can predict and resolve issues before employees notice them. But implementing a proactive strategy requires culture change and can’t be achieved overnight. 

In episode 3 of ‘Digital Employee Experience: The New Way of Working’, Nexthink and guest experts share how organizations overcome the proactive IT challenge and create a proactive service desk that solves issues faster, more efficiently and for less cost. 

Join us to learn: 
- Essential lessons businesses need to consider in their shift to a proactive service desk 
- Why proactivity and employee productivity relies on having data that is accurate and complete about users’ devices, applications, network and the experiences of the end-users themselves 
- How a proactive approach can lead to having enough information captured to support employee self-service, self-help and automated remediation process
- The business and financial benefits of a proactive approach

[Ep.3] Proactive IT 101: Learn How to Build a Proactive Service Desk

We’re over halfway through 2021, and it is becoming increasingly clear that hybrid working is here to stay. As such, employees should be able to rely on a seamless digital experience that enables them to effortlessly collaborate with colleagues and remain productive.

Yet too often IT support is slow to solve employees’ problems and eventually these issues can go unreported, causing long term frustrations and lack of progress and innovation. In order to gain employees’ trust - and alleviate pressure on IT teams - a proactive approach is key. Like all worthwhile endeavors, the shift to a proactive IT strategy requires fundamental change, and the pathway may seem fraught with obstacles. However, with the right strategy and implementation, rapid innovation is achievable.

[Ep.1] Digital Employee Experience: The Key to Employee-Centric IT

When an organisation’s service management is reactive, it deals with the problem at hand. This takes resources, money, hard work - and a direct hit to its Digital Employee Experience (DEX) score. However, when IT strategy delivers a proactive service, issues can be predicted and resolved before they are even noticed by employees. 

But how do organisations successfully do this and achieve a sustainable, proactive IT strategy? In episode 3 of The Future of Employee Experience: Building The Digital Workplace, we share key steps and best practices for creating a proactive approach to service management that will increase employee productivity, satisfaction, and engagement. 

Topics of discussion will include:

- Which proactive ITSM tools can ensure you have a productive, flexible and happy workforce
- How these tools enable you to lean into a outcome focussed service management strategy as opposed to an output focussed one 
- Why proactivity and a successful DEX relies on having data that is accurate and complete about users’ devices, connectivity to IT Services and the experiences of the end users themselves
- How a proactive approach can lead to having enough information captured to support SLA reporting and planning for future improvements, leading to a happier, more empowered workforce

Staying Ahead of the Curve: Proactivity and the Digital Employee Experience

As companies become more digitised and Digital Transformation initiatives soar, organizations are handling more demands across computers, networks, applications and databases than ever before. But with this surge in demand comes a greater reliance on these systems, and with greater reliance comes the increased risk of service outages - and potentially a very unhappy workforce.

As such, achieving visibility of the IT environment and gaining an accurate perspective of what really matters to users is crucial to successful DEX. In episode 2 of The Future of Employee Experience: Building The Digital Workplace, we discuss best practices for gaining this visibility that grants a true, detailed insight into what is making or breaking great employee experience.  

Insights and topics of discussion will include:

- How to merge ITSM and ITOM practices for achieving the coveted ‘Single Pane of Glass’
- How and why the effects of complete IT environment visibility lead to minimal downtime, increased satisfaction and a greater employee experience 
- How to successfully implement visibility, define metrics and measure its impact on DEX
- How to transform MTBF, MTTR and DEX with the right ITOM and ITSM strategy

The Single Pane of Glass: Real-Time Visibility & the Digital Employee Experience

The Future of Employee Experience: Building The Digital Workplace - Episode 1

The cutting-edge service desk of today is unrecognizable from previous incarnations, aligning more with hallmarks of the consumer experience–such as self-service, personalization, inclusion, and accessibility. Infused with AI and powered by automation and real-time end-user data, the service desk of 2020 has the ability to revolutionize the employee experience in a way that cannot be underestimated.
 
Predicting that service desks will increasingly become ‘experience desks’, in episode 1 of Nexthink’s The Future of Employee Experience: Building The Digital Workplace series, we take a closer look at how the reimagined service management can drive and deliver exceptional DEX, including:
 
-           How the right service management principles can enable companies to improve their incident management, problem management, and IT governance–leading to happier, more productive employees
-           How AI-powered service management can reduce the manual workload of service desk staff, as well as enable IT teams to anticipate problems rather than merely respond to them
-           How reimagined service management can improve relationships across teams and functions and increase employee experience sentiment

Reimagined Service Management: Revolutionizing Digital Employee Experience

The enterprise end-user base is vast, complex, and ever changing. IT organizations have traditionally relied on anecdotes and guesswork when it comes to understanding and segmenting these internal customers. Without meaningful personas, IT cannot effectively support their employees' unique needs and their credibility as a business partner to the rest of the organization suffers.

Persona Insight: Driving the Intelligent Personalization of IT

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, IT teams have been primarily focused on managing the sudden surge in remote workers. There is a growing need, however, to consider what comes next.

How will the relationship between the workplace, employees and technology be affected, long term? What will make our businesses more durable going forward? And how can IT plan for recovery?

Watch this hour-long, special panel including Chris Terndrup (formerly of Vitality and Tokio Marine), Alan Nance (Co-Founder and Managing Partner, CitrusCollab), and Jon Cairns (VP Technical Services, Nexthink), who will consider these issues and more, guided by exclusive survey data from Vanson Bourne.

This webinar covers:

- The extent to which businesses – and with them IT – will be permanently impacted by the Coronavirus crisis
- How IT can strategize for recovery, and ensure greater durability and flexibility going forward
- What Vanson Bourne’s survey of 3,000 employees and IT leaders tells us about the real state of IT experience

Beyond the Crisis: How IT Plans for Recovery

According to Forrester, the need to improve the employee experience (EX) will be a top priority for companies in 2020. While EX has normally fallen under the purview of HR leaders, we now know that digital experience is a critical component of EX. As a result, technology teams are increasingly focused on improving the digital experience to enhance workforce engagement and productivity.
