Employee experience solutions
Turn workforce insights into action and boost engagement, retention, and performance

Exceptional programs embed employee voice during experience design
Your employees are the driving force behind great customer experiences (CX). Involving them early ensures programs are designed for success, improving both the employee experience (EX) and the manner in which customers are served. When team members feel heard, valued, and empowered, they build stronger connections and drive business success.
That’s why SMG’s AI-powered employee experience solution goes beyond surveys, combining real-time insights, location-level feedback, and co-creation communities to give employees a voice in shaping meaningful change.
By capturing sentiment at key journey touchpoints and using Ignite’s® AI agents to uncover trends, root causes, and opportunities for improvement, SMG helps you move from insights to action faster, proactively addressing engagement and retention before issues arise.
The result? A more engaged workforce, higher retention, and measurable business growth.
