Your Best Candidate Just Turned Down Your Offer. Here's the Real Reason.

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Your technology is your employer brand. Every frustrating system, every slow computer, every "have you tried turning it off and on again" is damaging your culture and driving away talent.

Your technology is your employer brand. Every frustrating system, every slow computer, every "have you tried turning it off and on again" is damaging your culture and driving away talent.

The Numbers

•       40% lower turnover in companies with strong DEX (Gartner)

•       22 minutes lost per employee per day to technology issues

•       67% of employees say technology affects their job satisfaction

 

What Great DEX Looks Like

Day-One Productivity: New employees should be productive within hours, not days. Equipment ready. Accounts created. Training scheduled.

 

Frictionless Security: Security that protects without creating friction. SSO. Password managers. MFA that works.

 

Fast Resolution: When something breaks, it gets fixed fast. Not "we'll look into it." Fixed.

 

Proactive Improvement: Technology that gets better over time, not worse. Regular updates. Performance optimization. Modern tools.

 

The Business Case

A company with 50 employees losing 22 minutes each per day to tech issues loses over 9,000 hours per year. At $40/hour fully loaded, that's $360,000 in lost productivity annually.

 

Good IT isn't an expense. It's a multiplier.
