Building a great customer experience through your
employees
Five steps to your employees delivering customer excellence
An example of what we just did for a Nigerian Bank
Our Unique Innovative approach to understand
bottlenecks faced by customer facing employees
18. A different approach – thinking beyond whether your employees are
engaged
Traditionally, employee research has tended to focus on building employee engagement. This is
undoubtedly important: it’s been regularly demonstrated that more engaged employees deliver a
better customer experience.
We would argue, however, that looking at engagement is necessary, but not sufficient. To deliver a
great customer experience, customer-facing employees also need to:
• Fully appreciate what an excellent experience looks like – from the customer’s point of view
• Be clear about what behaviours and attitudes they should express to deliver that great
experience
• Have the skills, resources and information needed to express those behaviours and attitudes
• Be supported consistently by the rest of the organisation to deliver the service that customers
want
• Have regular feedback on whether what they are doing is working: does it give the customer
what they expect?
We can help you address this – and help get your frontline and back office more aligned in giving
a great experience to your customers.
19. Step 1: do your frontline employees really know what your customers want?

Customer evaluation of importance
Call centre staff over-estimate how important
these features are to the customer…
… while
underestimating
the importance of
these features
Our research shows frontline employees often misunderstand what
customers want: they place too much priority on some aspects of service,
and too little priority on others.
You need to close this gap – or your work to build staff engagement will just
mean they do the wrong thing more enthusiastically.
So the first step is
checking whether
your frontline staff
really understand
what customers
actually want.
By comparing your
employee and
customer data, we
can assess what gaps
you need to fix – to
make sure your
frontline really focus
on what matter to
20. Step 2: do your frontline staff know how to deliver what customers want?
Touchpoint 1 Touchpoint 2 Touchpoint 3
A customer journey
CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE:
Are you collecting VoC data in a way that lets you corroborate this?
EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE:
How do employees behave at each touchpoint? Are they effective at delivering touchpoints
that result in a great customer experience?
Once it’s clear what customers want you to deliver, it’s also important to assess whether frontline staff have the skills, attitudes,
resources and information to deliver this effectively.
We recommend touchpoint analysis to assess this. Touchpoint research often focuses on the customer’s experience – be we
recommend also looking at the employee side of the touchpoint: what’s getting in the way of them delivering a great customer
experience? Is it skills, is it resources, is it not having the right information? Understanding this can give a clear focus on where you
need to act.
21. Step 3: does the back office support the frontline?
What’s the “ideal”
and what is the gap
between actual and
ideal experience?
Do they understand
what the customer
expect s, are they
committed to delivering
this and are they
supported by the
company to deliver?
Do they understand
what support the
frontline needs and are
they committed to
delivering this?
It’s also key to know whether the organisation supports the frontline effectively. Two key questions:
• Are there clear, consistent lines of accountability on what frontline staff have to deliver – or do staff feel
pulled in different directions by multiple stakeholders?
• Is the back office aligned behind supporting the frontline – do they provide the right information, resources
and support for the frontline to deliver excellence to their customers?
We recommend research with frontline staff to explore their experiences on these points, and also up the
management chain to understand any blockages to managing and supporting the frontline.
22. Nuffield Ladder of Interventions a good framework for intervention types…
Step 4: how to influence frontline behaviour
Once the back office is aligned behind supporting and managing the frontline consistently, it’s important to understand how you can
best influence your frontline so they consistently give great touchpoint experiences. Key points are:
• There is no silver bullet: it will require a range of complementary interventions
• You will need a different pattern of interventions for directly managed and independent outlets
We can work with you to assess what else you can do to influence frontline behaviour: what other actions could you take, how can
you best combine those actions? Again, this can give you key pointers on actions you can take to better align your employees with
your customer expectations.

Real-time, in-the-moment
Enterprise Feedback Management techniques
allow you to track the difference your making
Whatever action you take to align employee
behaviours with customer expectations, it’s critical
to test whether your interventions are working:
• Does your back office support your frontline
better?
• Do your frontline consistently deliver an
improved, customer-centric service?
• Does the customer report a better experience as
a result?
Capturing real-time, in-the-moment feedback can
help you answer these questions, potentially down
to the level of the individual transaction.
This allows you to determine what’s working well,
and what’s working less well – and highlights how
you can continue to work through your employees
to deliver an ever-improving customer experience.
THE CONTINUAL
IMPROVEMENT
CYCLE
24. Delivering real-time tracking
• Real time tracking can be used in a variety of ways. As noted above, it can be used to drive continuous improvement of
employee-customer interactions. Equally it can be used to provide regular in-house tracking of employee sentiment –
allowing you to understand how employees are reacting to live issues and changes within the company. It can be
particularly powerful when linked to your communications strategy: are the comms from your senior team to employees
creating the reaction you intended?
• There are various ways to conduct real-time tracking, depending on what you want to achieve. It can work, for example,
through regular high-level survey, either online or via an app. We’d suggest tracking no more than five key metrics linked
to the key priorities in your people strategy.
• Alternatively, particularly if you are looking to drive changes in employee behaviour to improve the customer experience,
you might want to adopt a more sophisticated Enterprise Feedback Management approach
• Whatever approach you adopt, the findings can be presented through high-level, quick turnaround dashboard reports – to
give you an immediate picture of whether employees are on board with where you are looking to take them.
