1. Look at the employee experience end to end and make adjustments to align with what is important

2. Own HR’s role in facilitating talent magnetism and require leaders to be a part of it

3. Be honest about what employees can expect –and deliver on it

4. Make adaptations along the way as the workforce changes and as the context changes
