Employee Experience is a vast field and there are many touchpoints — so far we have worked on leadership development, impactful onboarding, modern performance management, recognition-rich cultures, career growth, self- and formal development, high impact learning cultures.
We would love to work with you on trustful leadership and transparent communication, investment in people, flexible and human work environments as well as open and flexible work spaces. Other topics that get us excited are self-organization of small teams and alternative organizational structures.

Why we created EX Lab.
We believe work is a space to explore ourselves, try out new things and grow together with peers working towards a common goal.
But how can people try and fail or work together across functions when they are managed and controlled by a top-down approach which rewards individual behaviours?
We are convinced our HR teams and People people must step out of their support function to become the heart of organisations; enabling their colleagues, ensuring teaming and pushing the boundaries of what work means.
