People lifecycle — synonymous with employee lifecycle — is a model used to identify and understand the stages employees go through at an organisation: from the moment they’re onboarded to the moment they leave.
This model or framework makes it easier for organisations to develop experience strategies at the various stages of the employee or people lifecycle. For example, an organisation might choose to implement measures that streamline the onboarding process of the people lifecycle, helping to get hires up to speed and reducing time to value.
On the other hand, organisations might choose to implement more robust feedback cycles during the recognition or retention phase to help prevent unwanted attrition.
Ultimately, people and employee lifecycles make it much easier for organisations to take a holistic approach to the experiences they deliver.
