2. 1. Have a strong change management focus
• Look at the predictable fears and issues people will have and pre-plan
how you will address them.
– For example:
• If you introduce a transactional feedback survey and attach a front line
person’s name to that survey, it doesn’t take much empathy to know that
those people are going to worry about how that feedback is going to be
shared and actioned.
• If you don’t actively address that concern your front line staff will spend a lot
of time coming up with worst case scenarios.

3. 2. Introduce Employee NPS® (eNPS)
• Employee NPS is an operational measure, just like NPS.
• It uses a very similar question, except it asks:
– “How likely would you be to recommend us as an employer to your friends”
• By introducing eNPS at the same time as NPS, employees can see how the
process works, from the inside, so to speak.
• It will also allow you to keep a track of employee engagement over the
long term.

4. 3. Share insights with customers and employees
• Your customer feedback process will generate lots of new and interesting
insights about how to improve your business.
• Many companies seem to think that these customer feedback insights are
top secret.
– They worry: “what if a competitor gets hold of this information”.
– This is a valid concern but a very minor one.
• The real concern is that if you don’t share the information with all staff –
the ones that can actually affect change – nothing will happen.
• Sharing with customers reinforces that their time invested in providing
feedback is not wasted.
• Sharing with employees because when employees can see how the
responses from customers are actually making a change in the business
they will engage more deeply in the process.

5. 4. Empower employees to tag bad business processes
• While management are often unaware of business process issues,
customers and front line staff know them all.
• Front line staff will know intimately the crazy hoops they have to jump
through to get that slightly oddball order to process correctly.
• Find a way to let staff tag your bad business processes
– It will drive up employee engagement.
– It will help you to identify the business process issues that are
driving down customer loyalty and driving up costs.

6. 5. Team NPS targets and Personal development plans.
• Rather than set NPS targets at the individual level, do it at the team
level.
– The focus should be much less on the score and much more on
the personal development plans of the people in the team.
– Focus on response rates rather than the score maximising the
feedback you are collecting and using to drive change in the
business.

7. 6. Appoint Customer Champions
• Best Practice Net Promoter Score Implementation Service require a
substantial governance process.
• The Process Team is key to success.
– A team of cross functional customer champions that help to
engage all areas of the company in the customer feedback and
continuous improvement process.
– These customer champions are not responsible for delivering a
great customer experiences (that’s everyone’s task).
– They are responsible for sharing the knowledge on how to
constantly improve the customer experience.

8. 7. Brand The NPS process
• Brand the Net Promoter process in the business.
– Give it a name and an identity to assist with engaging all employees in the roll-
out.
• It doesn’t happen immediately but if you brand the process and keep
pushing you will see change occur.
• As the business matures, the branding will become less important but it is
needed to drive initial support.
8

9. 8. Create “Vox Pop” videos to share success stories
• Create easy to share live video footage of success stores.
• Use a simple Vox Pop format to quickly capture and share good news
stories and successes widely across the organization.
• It’s fast, inexpensive and very effective.
• It makes stars of the people driving change in the business.
9

10. 9. Senior management calling employees associated with 10’s
• In a transactional survey, eyes are drawn to the dreaded 0s, 1s and
2s.
• Sure you need to work through the low scores but make sure you give
some valuable air-time to the 10’s.
• Celebrate staff who receive 10’s and congratulate them in public
forums.
• If you only focus on the low scores it can drain morale.
• Bonus tip: When talking about low scores focus on the process issue
behind the score not on the person.
– It is unusual that a member of your team intentionally caused
the customer a problem
– It is much more likely that the cause of the problem is a
process issue.

11. 10. Push positive customer comments into a reward and recognition
program.
• Examine how you can strip out positive customer comments related to
individual staff and push them into your rewards and recognition
program.
• Perhaps you take 10 great comments each week and give away movie
tickets to the person named or place their name at the top of a board,
along with the comment.
• It doesn’t have to cost a lot or be formal. The effect on employee
engagement in the customer feedback program is substantial.
11

12. 11. Add NPS to the Employee induction program
• Check your employee induction program. It talks about lots of
important areas of the business so make sure that you have included
a section on your Net Promoter or voice of the customer program.
• If not, what message are you sending to new staff?
