How can you deliver loyalty-inspiring service if your people aren’t engaged?

Enthusiastic employee with heart eyes cartoon, the employee - the heart of the organisation

As you are well aware, sustained business success depends on loyal customers, and loyal customers result from exceptional customer service; a level of customer service that entices your customers to buy more products and in greater number.

The corollary to this, however, is that the failure to provide exemplary customer service is extremely costly, because the costs of finding new customers are significant. 

So, how much are you forfeiting by having less than exemplary customer service? After all it isn't just about offering good customer service; it is also about providing better customer service than your competitors.

And, no matter how you look at it, customer service is 100% dependent on people and is therefore ultimately a people management issue. That is why you are facing the pressures you are for continuous performance improvement. But, being aware of this does not, as you know, make the challenge any easier and it would appear that your efforts here are not proving particularly effective.

Gallup Employee Engagement Index indicates 70% of US workers are disengaged Costing US business £300 billion a year in productivity losses! Watson Wyatt 2005 survey shows only 12% of UK workers are engaged And the figures for the rest of Europe aren't radically different!

With such extremely low levels of employee engagement it would seem delivering good customer service is impossible. For, as Paul Orfalea, the founder of Kinko's said, "You can't take care of your customers unless you take care of your people."

Yet, even such a progressive management tool as 6 Sigma with its “voice-of-the-customer” philosophy and focus on minimising defects, fails to recognise the people in the organisation. Remedial action revolves around three strategies, process improvement, process redesign and process management. How do you drive these with people who are disengaged?

Can you imagine what a difference it would make if you were offered a solution that created a corporate culture that drastically reduces 'top-down' management effort and saves you considerable time, by offering you:
