How did one manufacturing client’s focus on employee experience lead to $5 million in savings while advancing environmental sustainability goals? Patrycja Sobera, vice president of global delivery for Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS), closes out the Digital Workplace Deep Dive podcast for the year by divulging how she’s built a service delivery team that consistently provides exceptional client outcomes, stacks up industry awards and has fun in the process. She reveals:
Join host Weston Morris in this episode of Digital Workplace Deep Dive and Unisys’ leading enterprise communication and collaboration experts: Rich Owen, director of architecture for Seamless Collaboration, and Stacy Harder, solution manager for Seamless Collaboration.
Their discussion centers on — you guessed it — next-generation strategies for enhancing workplace communication, collaboration and overall productivity.
Owen and Harder don’t simply explore applying modern workplace technologies to improve the employee experience. Instead, they delve into the evolving return-to-office (RTO) landscape to uncover where enterprises are missing out on significant opportunities to achieve a stronger ROI of their office workspaces. By tuning in, you’ll learn how the following strategies can drive the ROI of RTO:
EX, XMO, XLA, XGB. Regular listeners of Digital Workplace Deep Dive likely recognize these acronyms as components of employee experience (and if not, check out the breakdown here). In this episode, we’ll add another – perhaps less familiar – acronym: SIAM-X, which discusses the intersection of service integration and management (SIAM) and experience management (X).
Join host Weston Morris for a conversation with Tom Reilly, partner at Beaconfield Partners, and Dr. Tony Parsons, director of digital service management for Unisys within the Asia Pacific region. In addition to reviewing the latest digital workplace trends in Australia and New Zealand, they share how successful organizations can embrace an experience-centered approach to service integration and management to align with the modern workplace.
As enterprise technologies increase in complexity, so do the ways in which companies must manage them to realize value. Although many have adopted a multi-vendor environment, operating dozens of service-level agreements (SLAs) in silos can make it extremely difficult to gain an end-to-end view and holistically measure improvement.
Enter SIAM-X: the next evolution of the traditional SIAM framework with employee experience at the center. Listen now to learn how integrating SIAM-X into your digital workplace can drive business outcomes through enriched end-user experiences.

Nearly 80% of the global workforce operates on the front lines, according to Microsoft research. This crucial group of workers requires different enterprise technologies and tools than their desk-bound colleagues. For example, they may not have regular access to traditional corporate communications channels and often share devices to communicate and collaborate.
But many companies take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to providing employees with workplace devices and technology tools. This leads to lost productivity, subpar frontline worker experiences and ultimately, missed opportunities for business growth.
Learn strategies for unleashing the potential of your frontline workforce in an enlightening conversation with Beth Schultz, vice president of research for Metrigy, and Unisys digital workplace experts Bobby Arbuthnot, Stacy Harder and Stephen Tong. This episode of Digital Workplace Deep Dive explores common frontline worker challenges and how successful enterprises use digital workplace data to deliver a better employee experience and enable productivity, including:
