Since the summer of 2018, I have developed a keen interest in the concept of employee experience. It is a critical factor that can significantly influence the customer experience of our guests and golf club members.
That summer, Paul Armitage, the then-managing director of Le Golf National, shared his views on this topic.
Let’s see where we stand on this topic in 2025. The employee experience has evolved beyond a mere initiative within human resources or internal communications to become a critical business necessity.
Organizational cultures and processes that empower employees to adapt to evolving customer needs, combined with a continuous commitment to improving operational efficiency, are among the foremost factors driving employee engagement in 2025.
Do you encourage your golf club employees to develop new ways of serving guests and members? Do you improve how work gets done?
In the past, meeting employee expectations often revolved primarily around compensation and benefits, which remain essential.
However, working collaboratively with employees is crucial to understand their needs today.
We can create a more supportive and productive environment by helping them navigate and proactively address the daily challenges they face at work.
