Introducing: The EX Space Advent Calendar:

Employee Engagement
People-First
Internal Communication
From 1–24 December, we’re opening the doors to The EX Space Advent Calendar — a daily drop of bite-sized inspiration, practical tools, and a few exclusive treats to help you finish the year strong and step into 2026 with confidence. Every single day, a new door unlocks.
Something designed to spark ideas, build capability, or simply make your work a little easier — whether you're shaping culture, redesigning processes, building trust through communication, or leading your organisation into the Human + AI era.
Some gifts will be brand new, others are hidden gems from the Essentials library, and a few will be extra-special offers you won’t want to miss.
Each door will stay open once revealed, so you can explore all 24 gifts in your own time.
Still to open...












Let's see what you've opened so far...


The Best Experience Tool
A simple activity that helps teams share stories of
their best moments at work — revealing what truly engages them, the conditions
that made those experiences possible, and the themes that matter most.
A
brilliant way to build empathy and uncover the real drivers of great employee
experience.


The EX Archetypes
Based on research with EX trailblazers, the EX Archetype model reveals the four core roles shaping employee experience: Architect, Planner, Designer and Builder.
It’s a practical way to reflect on where your strengths lie, how your role creates impact, and which skills matter most for thriving in the EX era.

Closing the Loop
Closing the Loop shares practical insight from EX and EE
leaders on how to turn employee voice into meaningful change.
It reframes
listening as an experience — and explores what gets in the way, what “good” looks
like, and the actions that help you move from insight to impact.


One of our favourites...
In this hugely popular TED Talk, Shawn Achor explores the powerful link between happiness and performance.
It’s fast, funny and full of practical insight, offering a boost of energy and perspective for anyone navigating the pressures of modern work.


EX Files - British Red Cross
This powerful case study offers a behind-the-scenes look at
how the British Red Cross approached Employee Experience in a uniquely complex,
human-centred environment.
It explores the challenges they faced, the methods
they used, and the lessons learned — offering real insight into what it takes
to design meaningful experiences in high-pressure, mission-driven settings.


The EX Readiness Check
The EX Readiness Check helps you understand how prepared you
are to design meaningful, human-centred employee experiences.
It explores your
strengths across two areas — human-centred skills and human-centred methods —
giving you a clear view of where you are today and what to develop next.
A
brilliant tool for anyone wanting to grow their EX capability.


The EX Lens
The
EX Lens is a practical thinking and planning tool that helps you understand
what truly shapes a great employee experience.
Built from thousands of ‘Best
EX’ stories, it brings together nine universal themes — whilst also emphasising individual differences.
It’s a
powerful way to refocus your work on what matters most to your people and
design EX with intention.

People-First IC Explorer
In this practical introduction, you’ll learn the core principles of the approach, why the profession needs to evolve, and how to start shifting from content delivery to experience design and strategic influence.
It covers the
mindset, behaviours and the role IC plays in shaping trust, clarity and connection, making it a great starting point for anyone looking to build stronger, more
human-centred communication skills.


The STORY activity
The STORY framework helps you craft a clear,
compelling ‘elevator pitch’ for Employee Experience.
It guides you to explain
the strategic context, the challenges your organisation is facing, the value EX
brings, and the support you need from stakeholders — all in a succinct,
persuasive narrative that resonates.
Armed with this, you'll be better equipped to win support and buy-in.
