Journey Mapping Workshop

Every team inside your organisation has an end user. Journey mapping is used to understand and improve the user experience. It allows for a deeper understanding of your end user. It is a process that uncovers moments that matter, reveals opportunities for improvement and ultimately helps refine your processes.

At a time when getting teams together is a priority for many leaders, this Journey Mapping workshop offers an opportunity to reset and realign around the fundamentals of the user experience.

How Different Teams Can Use Journey Maps

People and Culture teams own the employee experience (EX). They can shift the dial by creating more positive employee experiences by identifying key touchpoints, such as applying for a job, onboarding, upskilling or moments of change in their role.

Journey maps can help align your EX with your organisation’s values. This ensures your people are motivated and contributing to your organisational success.

What impact can this have on your People and Culture team?

  • Attract the best candidates
  • Employees become advocates within their own networks
  • Healthier employee satisfaction 
  • Better retention rates

It is critical that Learning and Development teams understand the learner journey – after all, a learner is a user. By getting clear on the learner’s needs, challenges, and goals, they can create more effective, tailored learning experiences.
