The Alluvio Aternity Digital Experience Management Tool, An Overview
Is your team happy with the employee experience at your organization? A Gartner survey revealed that only 13% of employees are delighted with their overall experience with the company.
The emerging workforce, comprised of Millennials and Gen Z, insists on outstanding Digital Employee Experiences (DEX). According to our 2023 Global Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Survey, 68% of individuals from these generations are inclined to switch to other employers if the DEX provided by their current workplace falls short.
In this age of digital natives, there is a heightened expectation for technology to seamlessly and efficiently cater to their needs. A subpar DEX hampers productivity and performance and can influence recruitment efforts and staff retention rates.
Alluvio Aternity's full-spectrum digital experience management tool provides insight into the business impact of both the customer and employee digital experience by capturing and storing technical telemetry at scale, capturing data across employee devices, EVERY type of business application, cloud-native application services and end-user sentiment. With Aternity, IT can not only improve the employee experience for users who use mission-critical applications, but also improve employee happiness and customer satisfaction, reduce the cost of IT operations and improve business outcomes.
