The EX Leaders Network has been rebranded as the ‘HX Leaders Network‘ (HXLN), reflecting the focus on the total ‘Human Experience’ of Work. We experience work well beyond HR processes and the traditional lifecycle. Covid-19 has accelerated changes already underway in business model and business strategy, as well as our physical and digital workspace. The new HXLN is a platform to ‘Connect, Learn and Share’ our experiences to inspire and educate others.
On June 10, HXLN member organizations participated in closed ‘HXLN Cohort Webcalls where they directly exchanged and shared examples and applications with their peers across companies. HXLN members also enjoy access to resources, tools and discounts to HX Playbook workshops and bootcamps.
