A Design Thinking approach

We work on three levels to enhance your Employee Experience. First, we focus on content, where we combine data and qualitative employee research to identify key opportunities and design viable solutions to elevate your Employee Experience.

"We empower you through content and capability."

Second, we build capability by enhancing your team’s skills, enabling them to continually design and improve the Employee Experience in a relevant and responsive manner. Third, we cultivate a culture that fosters a people-focused, innovative, high-performance environment. With our global Employee Experience Center in London, we continually expand our practical expertise for you to leverage.

Do you recognize this challenge?

Let’s make your employees happy, today.

Sounds good? Our services can help address your strategic HR challenges.

Our 2-day EX Design Sprint allows us to tackle one of your specific EX-related issues. For a broader assessment, our DT EX Assessment puts the thermometer into your organization, evaluating your EX from both an HR and overall organizational perspective. If your team needs to build foundational EX design skills, our DT EX Training can equip them with the necessary knowledge and mindset. Finally, for a comprehensive EX overhaul, our Full EX Design project guides you through the entire process, working closely with your organization.
