Real-time feedback is the key to improving the digital experience
Companies are always looking for ways to optimize their business performance and customer success. Realizing that employee satisfaction is critical to advancing business goals, many companies are taking a stronger look at their employees' digital experience.
Team members who are unhappy with technology that is supposed to help them do their jobs are less productive and more likely to leave an organization than employees who are happy with the technology stack. But, as hybrid work has become the norm, IT departments have had a harder task monitoring their employees’ digital experience.
Improving the end user experience on the new network
The rapid shift to a remote workforce has transformed how IT manages business networks. Today, attention is shifting beyond the monitoring of traditional infrastructure made up of physical network devices such as switches, access points, and firewalls. The newly expanded network includes everything that connects end users to the applications they need to do their jobs, including cloud hosting services, collaboration platforms, smartphones, and all the underlying networks end users are connecting through.
The remote and mobile workforce requires IT to manage the end user experience no matter where employees work, whether from the office, home, or some other location. This distributed workforce creates challenges to ensure that all employees can maintain strong online connectivity. As IT teams strive to manage the extended network, they find a clear correlation between employee connectivity and performance. That is why it is so crucial to measure the end user experience and understand how individuals engage with all the digital tools that enable them to be effective in their job roles.
