🎯Exceptional Golden Knowledge (GK) Container (g-f EGK)



genioux Fact: This article "Three Strategies That Empower Employees" is an example of an exceptional golden knowledge (GK) container. It outlines three well-supported strategies that empower employees. And links to other rare GK containers.


CIO Facts:
  • Amid labor shortages, hybrid work models, and worries about an economic recession, the employee experience has taken on heightened importance, according to 2023 predictions by Forrester.
  • Technology has a significant role to play. The right tools and systems can nurture creativity, exploration, and collaboration, which, in turn, can improve productivity, efficiency, and overall workforce engagement.
  • What are the technology trends IT and business leaders should focus on to empower their employees? That was the question we put to the CIO Experts Network — a community of IT professionals, industry analysts, and other influencers. Here are three strategies based on their responses.
    1. Look at the total experience
    2. Empower employees with data
    3. Provide engaging, immersive experiences

Extra condensed knowledge complements ultra condensed knowledge.






1. Look at the total experience


  • Many organizations are digitizing processes and buying solutions to improve collaboration, innovation, and productivity. The experts say to ramp up these activities. 
  • “Great technology empowers employees to make better business decisions and have more informed conversations,” said Kieran Gilmurray (@KieranGilmurray), CEO of Digital Automation and Robotics Limited. “This results in much happier employees who feel empowered and are more likely to deliver profitable business outcomes.”


2. Empower employees with data


  • Several factors are instrumental in building a successful total employee experience. One of them is data.
  • The experts offered ways to view your data strategy and understand how it empowers your employees:
    • “Enable greater data literacy with access to data, the ability to develop dashboards, and a culture that encourages collaborating on insights. Self-service BI tools, cloud data lakes, data catalogs, DataOps automation, data governance policies, fast networks, and high-powered end user computing capabilities are some of the technical backbones to support these capabilities.” – Isaac Sacolick (@nyike), president of StarCIO and author of Digital Trailblazer


3. Provide engaging, immersive experiences


  • Another factor that shapes the total employee experience is technology functionality. For example, do the tools you provide engage workers? Does their digital workspace include capabilities that help them immerse themselves, focus, and enhance their performance?
  • Start with refreshing the basics and ensuring that their everyday technologies make work frictionless. For example, “seamless installations of collaboration, connectivity, and productivity technologies are the pillars of world-class employee empowerment,” said Nichol.

Predictions 2023: Recession Fears And Talent Constraints Make EX Listening Imperative


  • As 2022 marches to a close, we reflect on a tumultuous year and look ahead to another that promises to be even more turbulent. At the beginning of 2022, the Future of Work team fielded hundreds of inquiries about talent attraction and retention, anywhere-work strategies, burnout, culture, and employee experience. The pace of inquiry has only become more urgent as the expansive rhetoric around employee experience confronts the belt-tightening mindset of economic uncertainty.
  • With so much at stake for organizations, we predict that in the coming year:
    • Employers will suffer through a perplexing, talent-constrained recession.
    • Recession-focused firms will slow EX investments and pay the price.
    • Four in 10 hybrid-working companies will try to undo anywhere work and half will fail. Our 2021 data shows that 66% of US firms have adopted hybrid or anywhere-first strategies, but 49% of leaders expect to alter their return-to-office approach. While our Future Of Work Survey, 2022, shows that 68% of employees who can work remotely say they hope to work from home more often than pre-pandemic, some leaders aren’t convinced.

Empowering Workers to Create ‘Magic’


  • Hubert Joly, former CEO and chair of Best Buy, says people are not a resource, they are the creative engine of innovation and change that companies urgently need.
  • HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Hubert Joly, author of The Heart of Business: Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism, to talk about:
    • Making meaningful purpose a genuine priority of business operations
    • The “human magic” of empowered and self-directed employees
    • Admitting you don’t have all the answers is a sign of strong leadership.
  • By putting people at the center of your company’s purpose, Joly says, we “start with a declaration of interdependence, where you embrace all stakeholders.”
  • Hubert Joly: I think motivation is leadership from the inside out. Try to define–and it’s a good moment actually to do it now–what’s important to me, what kind of a leader do I want to be? What kind of purpose do I want to pursue? And what is driving people around me? And connect, help everybody at the company connect what drives them with their work and with the purpose of the company. That’s how we unleash human magic and get these incredible results.

    Lessons learned, HBR 


    • ADI IGNATIUS: As you said, you went on a listening tour initially. So I think you’re saying that to create a winning strategy, you need to go deep into the company and connect with employees before you can even start to figure out what is the new mission, what is the strategy? Is that what you’re saying?
    • HUBERT JOLY: With the IBM turnaround that Lou Gerstner did in the early nineties, he said, “The last thing that IBM needs at this point is a vision. We need execution.” In our case, we found that the world needed Best Buy. Customers for some of our purchases, they need a place to touch, feel the products and ask questions. And importantly the vendors also needed us. Our problem was that all of our problems were self-inflicted, execution was terrible, prices were too high, [bad] online shopping experience.


    Condensed knowledge



    Lessons learned, HBR 


      • ADI IGNATIUS: You use the term human magic and I don’t want to blow by that. It’s in your book. What is human magic? What do you mean by that?
      • HUBERT JOLY: Human magic is when at scale you have employees that do things for each other and for customers that nobody has told them to do. 
        • Everybody wants to do something good to other people, and see how it connects to their work. Create an environment that’s very human. Where there’s genuine human connection.
        • Size doesn’t matter, right? I don’t care whether you have a company with 1000 people or a million people. It’s one individual at a time. Where you can focus on creating the environment where they can become the best, biggest, most beautiful version of themselves.
      • ADI IGNATIUS: Is the issue about empowering people, respecting them and empowering them? Or inspiring them to create a little magic in their work lives?
      • HUBERT JOLY: I think it’s a set of ingredients. And in The Heart of Business, of course being French, if you allow me, I have ingredients for a recipe, right? There’s multiple ingredients. One, I think of the company focused on the noble purpose, doing something good in the world. Like in our case at Best Buy, enriching lives through technology is important because it focuses on something bigger than ourselves. That’s important. But the second thing is, we need the purpose. We need values. We need to know what values are. Because values are what people do when nobody’s watching, right? We need some principles. And then we need clarity around decision-making. And that’s one of the things I’ve learned during that journey is that as the CEO, I make very, very few decisions. And the key for me is to push them down as far as possible.
        • So you empower. If you see something, do something. And it’s creating that sense that, yes, I can make a difference. I can create a world around me. Initially you can think that’s going to be chaos. No, because if you have this purpose, the values, the principles, clarity about what people are doing, that’s how you unleash your magic. It’s so beautiful to see. Because there was a point, Adi, where I said, “I’ve actually lost control of this operation. I mean, it’s completely out of my hands now.” And that’s when the performance started to skyrocket.
