Join our Events

Most HX Leaders are in their role for the first time and started in the last 2 years. Even HX ‘Pioneers’ are looking for ‘What’s Next?’. We formed this network for HX Leaders, who want to learn from one another, share ‘what works’, and co-create the Human Experience of Work.

We invite all HX and CX leaders to join and those who do People Analytics, Design Thinking, Journey Mapping, Physical and Digital Workspace, Agile teams, Transformation leaders and those who design HX-centric People processes.

Global Workshop: ‘The New Human Experience of Work’

Everyone is talking about the importance of Experience and Design Thinking in the new way of working. But what are the tools and methods that leading companies use? What have they learned about remote work and what are they changing? How can we use Design Thinking to co-create the Human Experience (HX) of Work and the ‘New Normal’ with our colleagues?

COME JOIN US for a virtual HX Playbook Workshop and learn firsthand how to use virtual HX frameworks and tools from Design Thinking and Agile to co-create the new HX of Work in your organization. We will share a facilitation guide and online templates that you can immediately use and share with your peers.

We want to share with you ‘The HX Playbook’ – a structured framework for creating an HX-centric organization (see below) along with an understanding of HX ‘pillars’ and tools.

The HX Playbook

This is not an information session but an ACTIVE experiential learning time and live Field Research on the Experience of Remote Working. We will LEARN BY DOING how to build personas, map journeys of remote work and work in Agile teams. We will discuss how to integrate and lead HX as part of your leadership role.

Who can benefit from the HX Playbook Workshop:

CHRO’s – those who set company people strategy & need new more effective & data-driven frameworks
Heads of EX, People Experience, Work Experience & their teams who want to learn new tools & share ‘what works’
Heads of Talent who want to restructure and build People Strategy around HX & Design Thinking
Heads of Transformation, Organization Design who want to learn/apply new HX frameworks to transform their business
HR leaders in Transition who want to learn new vocabulary and tools they can start using in their next role

Each session will be on Zoom with cohorts from your city and region, where you’ll have the opportunity to do virtual networking in our breakouts.

A report from Elliott Nelson (founder of the HX Leader Network & HX Transforma) on ‘HX in the time of Covid-19’ (see survey link below)

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.
