Employee experience conferences great for marketers in 2020
Today’s top companies have started to merge brand, customer, and employee experiences together in their Employer Brand. Gone are the days of them functioning separately and resulting in inconsistent company impact and execution. HR and marketing professionals have started to bridge and align Customer Experience with Employee Experience. (We really like this succinct take on Marketing’s new role in Employee Experience from Baltimore-based Substance 151 @substance151, a strategic brand communications firm.)
