As individuals, employees are increasingly accustomed to personalized experiences in their daily life, from the recommendations offered up by Amazon and Netflix, to the instant gratification of services such as UberEats and the ease of working around traffic delays via Google Maps. In the workplace, that personalized consumer experience may end abruptly as employees are faced with a talent management culture that delivers the same experience to everyone, at each stage of the employee lifecycle.As discussed in Forbes , successful, modern companies are finding that to attract and retain the best talent, they must revisit HR processes from recruitment to onboarding and performance management, and identify opportunities to connect and nurture on a more personal level.
