“Happy Employees = Happy Customers”, “Unhappy Employees = Happy Competitors”

Have you heard of the above formula? Along with customer experience, employee experience is becoming a top concern for companies, and arguing the right tools and support to help employees do their jobs better is becoming more important. According to one report, companies with technology to support employees engaged by 230%, and employees were 85% more likely to stay longer than 3 years.

According to the 1E survey, management was also aware of the link between a positive digital employee experience (DEX) and corporate success. More than 91% of satisfied said that the digital employee experience achieved the efficiency of business operations, 86% realized revenue, and 85% achieved speed to market.

However, it seems that it will be quite some time before employees interact and have a positive experience with the technology that supports digital workspaces. According to a survey, 95% of employees said they are “suffering with digital friction, such as software and network issues, problems affecting business applications, and slow devices.” Gartner notes out that “because employees report all technical failures to the IT organization, managers often don't understand all issues.”

The impact of a well-designed SaaS environment on the employee experience

As many companies continue to develop hybrid ways of working since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the digital employee experience has become a major challenge for companies around the world. Incentives, 48% of HR and IT leaders say they plan to invest in technology to improve the employee experience, and Gartner argues that many companies are actually investing in SMP as a way to redesign the employee experience. How can a well-designed SaaS environment impact the employee experience?

1. Convenience through unified login (single sign-on, SSO)

According to a report published by LeanIX, SaaS employees per employee have contributed 164% since 2015. As the number of SaaS companies used per employee, it is becoming more and more concerned to manage IDs and passwords for each SaaS. If an employee has to authenticate multiple times a day and remember concerns of passwords, it's like difficult productivity problems in the course of work. Since SaaS login is unified, employee convenience and productivity can be considered, and security policies can be applied to SSO accounts to enable safer SaaS use.

2. Increase efficiency by automating the user lifecycle

When new employees join the company, it's bound to have a negative impact on the employee experience if it only takes a lot of time to set up SaaS for work. Also, in the event of retirees, HR, IT personnel, and leavers all have to spend an inefficient and tedious time if accounts have to be considered for each SaaS account. By automating SaaS management, user provisioning can reduce add the SaaS accounts needed for hires and employees delete employees, so both managers and employees can save time and focus on more important tasks.

3. Implementing employee autonomy

When SaaS is managed from a central console, visibility into SaaS usage is considered, and appropriate permissions can be considered to the right users. It is possible to create a system where employees can find and use suitable SaaS on their own to suit their environment and to extremely improve productivity in the work they do.

In the case of POPs, it is convenient because it provides a launcher that allows employees to view assigned SaaS apps in one place, so they can access multiple SaaS in one place. Employees can bookmark SaaS that they intend to use, and if they find a SaaS that suits them, they can easily apply for and use SaaS according to the approval process set by the administrator within POPs. Instead of unilaterally using SaaS organized by the organization, it is important to create a culture and environment where employees can choose the SaaS that suits them.

Support based on autonomy is the core of the employee experience

Computers, network performance, and other infrastructure issues are important, but the core of the digital employee experience is empowered employees and helping them get work done faster, and more difficult.

The POPs team argues that SMP is not just SaaS management, but also includes the area of supporting an environment where employees can find and use the right SaaS for improving productivity.

As the number of SaaS companies use investing to grow, it will become increasingly useful for IT departments to manage and view all SaaS. Appropriate, it is likely that future SaaS management will manage everything from a central console and manage intermediate management systems to appropriate departments and personnel.

Through SMP, companies can understand the employee experience related to SaaS in detail and support SaaS according to individual employee preferences.
