Building a World Class Employee Experience

I’ll talk about my 25-year career journey. How I’ve transitioned from technology focused roles to people focused roles and why having 14 different employers over that time has been a good thing.

Leveraging my background and experience across all aspects of the employee lifecycle, I’ll discuss what I believe are the hallmarks of a world class employee experience, why they’re important and the impact they’ll have if you get them right. I’ll also include some real-world examples of initiatives that Xero has recently implemented or are in the process of implementing.

About Ryan Ghisi

Over my 25 year working career, I’ve gradually moved from an IT technical focus, through HRIS consultancy to remuneration and reward focused roles. I’ve been fortunate to work for large UK companies such as Virgin Media, O2 and Sky and many international NZ organisations, such as Air New Zealand, Orion Health and currently Xero. The last several years has seen me work closely with executive teams and boards on strategy and initiatives that drive employee attraction and retention.

I have a passion for everything that impacts employee engagement, including recognition, wellness, culture, career and development, remuneration and rewards and leadership.
