employee engagement

It’s the time of the year where I share my take on the latest CX research published by unwood. Worth pointing out that Nunwood has been acquired by KPMG so is now KPMG-Nunwood. Back to the research titled: A New Era of Experience Branding. You can download this by going to the KPMG-Nunwood website.

"Treat employees better than customers."

Does your company have a clearly defined set of guiding principles?

On the heels of the Amazon "exposé," I thought I'd tackle a slightly different angle of the story. I'm not going to weigh in on what's happening there - I don't work there, so I have no idea. Besides, there are always three sides to every story: yours, mine, and the truth, right? 

Perspective. If we are to improve the performance of human worlds (couple, family, neighbourhood, team, department, business, nation…) perspective taking is essential.

Is this the secret to employee engagement?

Employee passion drives results.

That's the title of a blog post I wrote back in 2012. Without question, that statement still holds true today.

Have you ever had an idea that needs a little boost to get to fruition?

Every once in a while, I get some random thoughts and ideas or some things that I question or ponder - and may not necessarily have enough content to write a full post or enough time to develop the concept. I've jotted down a bunch of these thoughts and haven't done anything with them. Time to throw them out into the universe! Introducing CX Journey™ Musings.

When you're ready to make or introduce a change in your organization, how do you tell employees about it? Or do you?

Last week, I wrote about some research that McKinsey did on organizational transformations. One of the findings was that communication is key to a successful transformation. (This seems to be a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised.)

What does it take to be a "Best Employer" company? And why is that a goal worth setting - and achieving - for your organization?

As companies strive to improve their customer experience, the desire to do more than satisfy customers is becoming increasingly important. 

But at the same time it is remarkable how few companies have a programme in place to capture the profits of turning someone into a brand advocate. This is an expensive oversight. It leaves companies with the investment for improving their customers’ experiences. But they miss out on the (financial) returns this generates.
