#WorkTrends Recap: Be Your Customer’s Hero
Too many organizational leaders are scared of employee empowerment, often coming from cultures of command and control; fearing what can happen if they give up that control.
However, the greatest customer experience companies empower their teams to solve issues in real-time, resulting in more satisfied customers and fewer escalated issues.
On this week’s #WorkTrends show, our special guest, author and customer service expert, Adam Toporek spoke about customer service examples from Starbucks, Ritz Carlton and his own experience as a small business owner.
Here are a few key tips Adam shared:
- It is crucial for employees to remove the hassle from customer service
- Empowered employees are more dedicated to their jobs and more satisfied with their work
- Empowered employees are more confident and it shows in their customer interactions
