“…The first school of thought saw the employee experience as a natural evolution of the candidate experience. In alignment with the employee engagement literature, this stream focused on creating intentional experiences and memorable moments along the endto-end employee lifecycle (Bester & Stander, 2021). The second influential school of thought originated from the technology and digital user perspective and the rise of digital HR solutions (Kristoff et al, 2018).…”

The shifting world of work and the resultant impact on organizations has fundamentally changed the relationship between employees and employers. With the reality of changing workforce demographics, gig-workers, nomad work and evolving talent marketplaces placing organizational talent supply processes under pressure, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of people management practices to access talent pools. In particular, the impact of employer branding, the employee value proposition, and the employee experience on attracting and retaining talent has to be re-evaluated in light of shifting expectations. We propose that traditional human resource (HR) practices, which have predominantly been focused on procedural elements of the employee lifecycle, have to evolve to intentionally create more human-centric working environments. This implies incorporating principles from design thinking and servicebased design, which positions the human being as the focal point. A shift towards a more human-centric perspective should not be disconnected from the contextual realities of the organization and its objectives while also taking the dynamic nature of the evolving psychological contract into account. The purpose of this article can be described as follows. First, we aim to discuss the psychological contract as the focal point for aligning employer brand, employee value propositions and employee experience. Second, we propose an employee-centric design methodology for human resource practices and third, we illustrate the use and application of this method by applying it to the off-boarding process in a global organization.

At different times in the history of industrial capitalism, the firm has replaced the State, or anticipated it, by constructing regulatory models which were then legally sanctioned by State legislation, or generalised within public policies concerning, for example, education systems. This is what Pollman and Barry call “regulatory entrepreneurship”. Alongside this legal normativity, management practices have always entailed a psychological normative production aiming to shape the workforce as a subject, also according to the political instances of current forms of State governmentality. Indeed, the very birth of modern management is to be conceived in relation to these practices of production of forms of subjectivity in the workplace.
