Customer experience is a key differentiator for businesses in today\u2019s digital economy. It\u2019s also a moving target;\u00a0as technologies advance, customer expectations skyrocket<\/a>, which makes it a real challenge to meet them (let alone exceed them). So, why focus on employees, if it\u2019s customer happiness you\u2019re after?<\/p>\n

5 steps to improve your employee experience for happier customers<\/h2>\n

Studies show that there\u2019s an undeniable link between employee experience and customer experience. According to Forrester,\u00a0companies with highly engaged employees<\/a> score 81% higher in terms of customer satisfaction than their competitors. And new data shows that\u00a0combining employee experience with customer experience<\/a> can increase revenue by up to 50%.<\/p>\n

Learn how to start improving your employee experience for a better customer experience with these 5 steps:<\/p>\n

1. Give employees room to grow<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing less motivating than doing a job that\u2019s too easy. Bore-outs are real, and if an employee doesn\u2019t find the challenge they\u2019re looking for within your organization, they\u2019ll start searching elsewhere sooner or later.<\/p>\n

Make sure that your employees reach their full potential by staying one step ahead and keeping them in the loop when new opportunities arise.<\/p>\n

2. Don’t micromanage<\/h3>\n

Unhappy, unmotivated employees don\u2019t deliver strong customer experiences. At TOPdesk, we are big on trust, freedom, and responsibility. We trust our employees to come up with cool initiatives and ideas. And they always have the freedom to tackle their tasks whichever way they want, as long as they take responsibility for their work.<\/p>\n

By taking a step back and empowering your employees to make the right decisions, you\u2019ll motivate them to take initiative and help customers, without fear of failure. Make employee wellbeing part of your organization’s DNA – not just an issue for HR.<\/p>\n

3. Listen to your team<\/h3>\n

An engaging work environment looks different for every organization. Rather than relying on your assumptions, speak to your employees to find out what they need in order to feel happy and motivated at work. Nobody can provide better insights into your team\u2019s needs than your team themselves \u2013 and you might be surprised at what you discover.<\/p>\n

4. Highlight employee wellbeing<\/h3>\n

Make sure to consider your employees\u2019 wellbeing in all aspects of your business operations. Remember: our working lives are influenced by numerous factors inside and outside of the office, including social interactions, community, and physical and mental health, so it\u2019s crucial to make employee wellbeing part of your organization\u2019s DNA \u2013 not just an issue for HR. In doing so, you\u2019ll be much better positioned to create an outstanding employee experience.<\/p>\n

5. Focus on people before tools<\/h3>\n

Employees who use well-designed technology at work are\u00a05.6 times more likely to report their company \u201chas experienced extreme revenue growth\u201d in 2022<\/a>. But with such an abundance of tools out there, it\u2019s important to find tech that actually fits your people and makes their work easier. It might sound obvious, but lots of companies make the mistake of investing in flashy new tools, which employees have to work around, rather than choosing technology that supports their organizational needs.<\/p>\n
