In the ever-evolving landscape of customer experience (CX), one thing remains constant, the pursuit of customer loyalty…

A much overlooked area of business growth is how employees perceive their company, but your people are the key to your success. We’ll team up with you to get your employees onboard and in tune.
It’s never been more important to bridge the gap between your customers’ needs and those of your employees. Businesses that can satisfy both their customers and employees outperform their competitors by retaining and attracting more customers and maintaining a motivated and effective workforce.
Employee experience and customer experience are very similar in the sense that they both relate to individuals' interactions and expectations of an organisation, as a result of experiences that they have had with the company.
Usually, a customer’s experience with your business is linked to your employees’ satisfaction, as to how motivated and engaged your employees are to reach your business goals. This then influences employees' levels of effort to create a great customer experience, linking it to customers’ experiences and service expectations.
An organisation that provides a good employee experience, involving and empowering them, finds that employees:
• Care more about your business and its customers.
So, it is essential to not just understand your customer needs, but to anticipate what lies behind their requirements and their future needs, whilst also matching your services to meet those needs and empowering employees to delight customers at every opportunity.
As experts in measuring how customer-centric an organisation is and identifying improvements in even the highest scoring companies, IIC also work with a wide range of businesses to help them measure the extent to which the people inside the business are engaged and how they can be empowered and motivated to deliver improvements throughout the customer journey. We can help you evaluate how engaged your employees are; what you can do to enhance their engagement and how you can create a company culture that leads to business growth.
Our approach to measuring employee engagement will help you to understand the extent to which staff believe:
Their job:
• Is interesting and utilises their strengths.
• Allows them to fulfil their potential.
• Has a clear development plan.
Their contribution is:
• Recognised and adequately rewarded.
• Seen to make a difference.
• Valued by their colleagues.
Their managers:
• Have their best interests at heart.
• Will empower them to make decisions based on what they feel is the best way forward.
• Are capable of delivering business success.

The scale and depth of insight provided through an IIC survey is invaluable. It highlights what you are doing well, and exactly how you can improve customer experience.
