Key Employee Experience Investments for 2025: Enhancing Engagement and Efficiency
As the holiday season kicks off, many organizations are also deep into budget planning for 2025. A crucial focus this year? Investing in employee experience (EX).
Employee experience (EX) remains a top priority, with 91% of HR leaders committed to improving it within their companies. In the latest 2023-24 Voice of the Workforce Survey, more than 1,100 full-time employees shared what matters most to them. Based on their responses, here are key investments for 2025:
Empowering HR Software
Employees want control over HR, benefits, and payroll tasks—71% would like self-service options. Offering user-friendly tools like employee self-service and HR chatbots empowers employees to access information quickly and independently. This also lightens HR’s load, allowing more focus on strategic projects.
Streamlined Benefits Enrollment
With 47% of employees finding the benefits election process stressful, there’s a clear need for simplification. Top requests include cost analysis of benefit plans and clearer communication. Investing in technology that breaks down costs in real-time and rolling out structured communication plans can help employees make informed decisions with ease.
Reliable Payroll
Accurate, timely payroll is foundational to a positive EX. Over half of employees (55%) say payroll errors could lead them to consider other jobs. Reliable payroll software is essential to ensure error-free, prompt payments. Additionally, exploring flexible pay options, like on-demand pay, can enhance EX, with 50% of employees expressing interest in accessing wages as they earn them.
Investing in Employee experience (EX) keeps organizations competitive and strengthens retention—vital in today’s evolving workforce. At PayPLUS, we’re committed to enhancing employee experience (EX) by equipping our clients with advanced tools that solve challenges, support business goals, and foster a strong EX within their organizations.
