Experience Design for Workplaces: Hybrid XM Solution

About the Experience Design for Workplaces: Hybrid

The Experience Design for Workplaces: Hybrid XM Solution supports leaders who are determining the development and implementation of location and flexible work policies. With this XM Solution, organizations can quickly understand what employees want in a hybrid model, including desired flexibility options and the impact of remote work on productivity and wellbeing.

This solution comes with a pre-configured survey template and dashboard.

Qtip: For a general guide on using XM Solutions, see Guided Solutions.

Methodology

Pre-built assessment questions cover the following Hybrid Workplace topics: Scheduling preferences, remote work experience, and the benefits of office-based and remote environments.

This solution can be used for:

Determining how many days employees want to work remotely vs. in the office.
Deciding on investments to improve remote worker productivity and wellbeing.
Learning about employee perception of office health and safety.
Hearing about the flexible work arrangements employees want.

Use real-time employee sentiment data to make the best plans for your organization – and your employees – as you plan a hybrid model for transitioning back to the workplace.

Dashboards

PREMADE DASHBOARDS

Our XM Scientists have developed a special dashboard for this XM Solution. This dashboard has multiple pages of insightful information, and is ready to share as soon as you have collected data.

Go to Dashboards.
The premade dashboard will be listed. Click the dashboard’s name to see inside.
The dashboard will open in a new tab in your browser. Navigate amongst the pages listed to the left to view your data.
Qtip: This dashboard will not generate charts and tables until you collect data.

Qtip: Line charts may appear as a single point until you collect multiple weeks worth of data. This is because they are displaying trends over time, and don’t have enough data to display a trend yet.
