Many enterprises ingrain empathy in their work and Customer Relationship Management processes as a key to ensuring employee engagement and customer satisfaction. Enterprises that aim to offer a top-notch customer experience need to start with their first clients, which are their employees. According to a report published by Statista in 2021, nearly 45% of the professionals globally said that their entire workforce is highly engaged in delivering customer experience. The study also highlights that nearly 25.3% of the clients rated the organization’s CX capabilities seven out of ten. Many enterprises with customer-centric workflows have witnessed success in their strategies by keeping employees at first. How employees feel about the brand they work with; heavily reflects in the customer experience delivered.
Employee experience influences CX
A lot of organizations today find it challenging to process because there is a tremendous disconnect between business leaders and employees that results in a siloed work culture. Decision makers that implement change without data-driven employee insights will end up in a bigger silo.
