In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast I'm joined by Seth Patton to discuss how Microsoft is reinventing employee experience for a hybrid world, as well as how you can use technology to improve the employee experience, why a skills first mindset is the new currency for talent retention and the number one thing that makes employees want to return to the office.
Seth Patton is the GM, Microsoft 365 & Microsoft Viva Product Marketing at Microsoft. He leads the product marketing for Microsoft 365 employee experience and collaboration solutions, including Microsoft Viva, SharePoint, Yammer, OneDrive, Planner, Stream, Cortana, and more. Seth and his team are responsible for product management and programs that enable organisations to transform their employee experience for the digital era around the world.
