#WorkTrends Recap: Employee Engagement and Customer Satisfaction
It’s not a well-kept secret. There is a lot of information showing how customer satisfaction and employee engagement are closely tied together. Given your employees are the first line of contact for customers, how they interact with the buying public can have either a positive or negative impact your customers’ perceptions and ultimately your bottom line.
This week, guest host Cyndy Trivella welcomed Mary Poppen and Sara Weiner of Glint to discuss how employee engagement really impacts customer satisfaction.
Mary and Sara shared how technology helps managers and leaders improve employee engagement across the organization. They also touched on how a culture of engagement can be felt by customers as well as employees.
Here are a few key points that Mary and Sara shared:
- When the culture is customer focused, brands can really be successful
- Employees who love what they do pass on this contagious enthusiasm to their customers
- It’s not that people don’t want to improve engagement, it’s that they haven’t had tools to get insights right away
