Experience design within organisations is rapidly becoming one of the most important trends in the workplace. Human Resources Professionals, In House Recruiters, everyone involved in the world of work all know that the experience people get from their interactions with your business – whether as an employee, manager, job candidate, alumni or customer – will define their relationship with you. A great experience boosts engagement and employee retention and helps to attract and retain customers and clients too.
Most of the workplace trends predictions for 2025 had experience – and wellbeing – as key differentiators, putting the design, planning, thinking and implementation of experiences within the business at the forefront of talent attraction and retention.
Not sure how to get started? Then help is at hand! We are are proud to announce the launch of the Employee Experience Expo 2025 in London on 25th February! This is the event for people professionals who want to find out more about Employee Experience, Inclusion and Engagement and learn how to design, create and execute great experiences that can help build profitable businesses. We see this as a key development on the business agenda and we want to reflect that development in the most supportive way we can.
Taking place at the Excel Arena in London, alongside the 2025 In-House Recruitment Expo, entry will be free for People Professionals as we bring together a wide range of speakers, partners and exhibitors to help you create the experiences your organisations need.
Our silver sponsors are Oak Engage, an award-winning employee app and intranet solution that transforms how businesses work and communicate, whilst our bronze sponsors are health and wellbeing app YuLife, whose co-founder Jonathan Roomer will help you to transform your approach to employee wellbeing.
In our seminar programme we will hear from Helen Sierwald and Lyndsay Davidson from NATS (National Air Traffic Services) about creating people-centric communications, and Emma Sherriff (Head of Employee Experience at PPHE Hotel Group) will explore talk about designing for neuro inclusion to help build better workplace experiences for everyone. We will see a fireside chat with HelloFresh Global VP of People Yasar Ahmad talking about their post-Covid development journey to create a true 21st Century Global people function.
Empowering teams by fostering an inclusive culture of feedback – with visible follow through – is a topic that Michael Morgan, from financial intelligence company Y Tree will discuss, while Cat Lewis will talk about how Cultures That POP have reset strategy, redefined culture, and realigned their business, to create a 30% increase in revenue!
Enlightening seminars will only be one part of the experience for you at Employee Experience Expo 25, as we will open our Future of Work Experience Lounge – a space where the conversation isn’t just about work, but how work feels. We call it our backstage pass to the Future of Work!
The Lounge will have 3 zones. The Social Zone – the place where human connection happens and you can engage, share and learn from conversations with other people professionals in a relaxing environment. We see this as the place where ideas begin to form, before you move on to The Collaboration Zone – a space where you collaborate and learn though live workshops and discussions around innovation and collaboration, developing the ideas that could transform your business.
Our third zone is The Quiet Zone – somewhere to relax, refresh, refocus and recharge…and to think! Without giving too much away you will find soundproofed pods and ergonomic furniture.
We see our Future of Work Experience Lounge as a place where the future of work – and of employee experience – starts; and a place that you will want to replicate in your own business!
And the learning and collaborating doesn’t stop there. We will also host a Leadership Lounge, hosting round table sessions for leaders to exchange thoughts, ideas and experiences on topics like employee listening, the future of DEIB, the role of AI in personalising the employee experience, and the part that rewards and recognition play in employee retention.
In addition, we have a Productivity Lounge, where you can experience an on-site massage and seated yoga; explore ideas on the Future of the Office, Leading Neurodivergent teams, and contemplate the Power of Music for transforming office spaces.
Also key to supporting the Expo will be our event partners and sponsors – HR World, Communicate Magazine, Transform Magazine, ICE Awards, Startups Magazine, and The EX-Space – all of whom we thanks for their support and input.
We can’t wait to welcome you to The Employee Experience Expo 2025! It will be a whole new series of experiences for people leaders and managers at all levels. Don’t delay – register to save you place today!
We look forward to welcoming you on 25th February to what we believe will be a truly refreshing, informative and innovative event!
