Cruising Through Our 2022 Year in Review

2022 was a year of exploring new heights on Cruising Altitude. So we wanted to share some highlights with you. In this episode, we’re looking back on our conversations with leaders at companies like Sony, Lockheed Martin, Sam’s Club, and more. And celebrating what we’ve learned from them about supporting a world class employee experience. Quotes*“I don't think experience is something that can be worked on. I think it's a fluid living, breathing entity. And I like to ask a question from our core team in HR and marketing, ‘What will bring more life to the employee experience?’” - Marija Zivanovic-Smith, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at NCR*”When you are implementing improvement in your employee experience, the process never ends. So employees keep on raising the bar, and you are always working to do better.  So you are doing something, you are doing better, but then you need to keep on doing better is something that never finishes.” - Quique Huerta, Global Employee Experience Officer at Liberty Mutual Insurance*”When we operate in so many countries, there are multiple language barriers, which you need to go through. So how do you ensure that what you communicate lands appropriately so that everyone can act on the communication that is being said? One of the big challenges we have as an organization is thinking as one global organization. The headquarters is all about coming up with a framework on how you approach things in a way in which every country in which we operate can take the framework and apply the framework that suits the needs of the respective country's operations.” - Bala Sathyanarayanan, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at Greif, IncorporatedLinksConnect with:Marija Zivanovic-SmithQuique HuertaBala SathyanarayananPaulo PisanoAlan WintersChristopher ShryockAlexander SennTheresa AlessoAngie GrossmanJohn JordanMelissa MarshallJoe LaMarcaThanks to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the company that is redefining the digital employee experience to put people first and lift companies up by connecting every worker, everywhere with the information that helps them do their best work.
