San Francisco, CA, USA, May 15, 2023 - Genesys(R), a global cloud provider in experience orchestration, announced the Genesys Cloud EX™ solution, a new product to engage, motivate and empower employees within the contact center and beyond. This new standalone employee experience solution helps any business increase engagement, performance and trust with today's digital workforce through capabilities including artificial intelligence (AI)-powered workforce forecasting and scheduling, gamification and performance management, coaching, and employee development.

Organizations increasingly recognize their employees are key to delivering great customer experiences. As businesses grapple with new remote and hybrid working models, talent shortages and the rise of the gig economy, many leaders say ensuring a positive employee experience is a No. 1 priority, according to "The State of Customer Experience" report from Genesys. Yet, legacy on-premises systems limit many businesses in managing and supporting their employees, with approximately only half (52%) of survey respondents reporting they use modern cloud-based workforce engagement management (WEM) solutions today.

With Genesys Cloud EX, organizations can drive engagement through a full breadth of employee experience features in a single user interface, including workforce management, quality management, performance management and more. 

Etraveli Group, a worldwide online travel agency and global provider of flight technology, recently selected Genesys Cloud EX to manage and engage 300 employees in the back office in its claims, payouts and ticketing departments. The company previously consolidated its customer service agents on the Genesys Workforce Engagement Management solution, enabling it to identify issues and manage its teams more effectively.

Gurpreet Sawhney of Etraveli Group said, "As a long-time Genesys customer that's driven improvements across both customer and employee experience, we saw an opportunity to utilize Genesys Cloud EX for our employees outside of the contact center. Genesys Cloud EX has provided a solution focused on employee experience to help us accomplish our objectives."

"Improving the employee experience has become a business priority that spans people, process, technology and physical workplace considerations. Different business functions must work together to develop a unified strategy that transforms them into a more employee-centric and experience-focused organization. Solutions such as Genesys Cloud EX that help better integrate organizations at the people and workflow level will be a vital support for businesses looking to improve employee experience," said Adam Holtby, principal analyst at Omdia.

"Employee experience is a business imperative because it often dictates customer experience. Many organizations are hamstrung by legacy investments that limit their ability to support the needs of today's digital workforce," said Olivier Jouve, chief product officer, Genesys. "Genesys Cloud EX offers companies a simplified path to the cloud and tools that help them manage and empower their employees wherever they are."
