Evolution Unveiled: ATX HR P&C Community’s Decade of Impact & the Rise of ATX PX

Our journey began a decade ago when Praneeth and I, fueled by the spirited conversations of high-tech entrepreneurs in the People space at Capital Factory, came together to establish the ATX HR community tribe in Austin, Texas. Starting small, we gathered with a group of like-minded individuals, meeting monthly to explore and learn, all thanks to the kind support of our location sponsors over the years: Capital Factory, Austin Tech Council, Cloudera, Colliers International, and Deloitte.

Over the years, we've evolved in size and purpose, transforming from ATX HR to ATX HR People & Culture. Now, in FY24, we are excited to announce our rebranding as ATX PX (People Experience). This change aligns with the feedback from our members,? insights from published articles, as well as an insightful conversation and espresso with Luke O’Mahoney that cemented and emphasized the significance of the employee experience (EX) in driving business success more efficiently and effectively through improved people experiences.

Here are a few key snippets to highlight the significance of:

• “Adopting a PX approach means positioning the employee (and wider business stakeholders) as the customers.” (@Luke O'Mahoney, Sapien)
• "How customers experience your business starts with how employees experience it." (Deloitte)
• "The employee experience is the journey an employee takes with your organization. It includes every interaction that happens along the employee life cycle, plus the experiences that involve an employee's role, workspace, manager, and wellbeing." (Gallup)
• "It’s a more holistic approach to affecting how people feel about working at your organization." (Academy to Innovate HR - AIHR)
• "Employee experience encapsulates what people encounter and observe throughout their tenure at an organization." (CultureAMP)
• "It's the people who make organizations work." (@Angela Shaw)

In addition, we are thrilled to announce that Deloitte has graciously extended their support as our location sponsor for FY24. Their generous offer will undoubtedly enhance the success of our community members, teams, organizations, and our community as a whole. This sponsor partnership underscores the importance of collaboration in achieving our shared goals. (Thank you, Deloitte!)

We are excited for a fabulous FY24!? If your organization is interested in being a passion for partnership sponsor, supporting the ATX PX, please reach out to an ATX PX committee leader.

We invite you to join us in expressing our gratitude to Codie Smith at CD Austin for his invaluable support in our rebranding efforts.
