Shaping the Future: Employee Experience in Financial Services

Project Overview
I partnered with a leading financial institution to envision the future of employee experience, focusing on three key areas: Purpose and Mutuality, Empowerment and Trust, and Community and Connection. By combining in-depth research with visual storytelling, I helped the organisation map the evolving needs of employees and identify actionable strategies for the next 10+ years.
Key acheivement
The project strengthened the institution's commitment to employee well-being and laid the foundation for innovative, future-ready workplace initiatives.
The Challenge
The financial institution sought to explore how its culture, policies, and practices could adapt to the shifting expectations of employees. My role was to help forecast changes in key areas and craft a compelling vision that would resonate with both employees and stakeholders."
The Approach
I used a mix of qualitative and visual research methods to create an actionable, future-focused vision:
1. Stakeholder and Employee Interviews: To understand current challenges and aspirations.
2. Employee Journey Maps: To identify key touchpoints and areas for improvement.
3. Empathy Maps and Storyboards: To visualise future scenarios and their impact on employee experience.
The Outcome
The project delivered a clear, actionable vision for the future of employee experience, underpinned by rich visualisations and data-driven insights. Key outcomes included:
Detailed journey and empathy maps that identified pain points and opportunities.
A visionary presentation that aligned stakeholders on long-term goals.
Engagement from employees, who felt heard and valued in shaping their future experience
