Time to integrate your CX, CI, and Employee Engagement Programs

How are your CI (Continuous Improvement), Customer Experience (CX), and Employee Engagement (EE) programs stacking up? We often forget that these three programs must be integrated for success.

In my recent blog, Transform Continuous Improvement for Experiences Customers Love; I share a success story of one of our clients and how they integrate CX, CI, and EE. One of the takeaways of this story is that employee engagement makes all the difference
There are countless benefits to your company’s success when you improve Employee Engagement. The exponential benefits impact both Customer Experience and Continuous Improvement. A cornerstone of Employee Engagement is empowering employees. Are you allowing employees to “own” their work? In “What are the Benefits of Employee Empowerment,” the advantages of empowered employees are discussed in detail as outlined below.

The company began its first CX improvement efforts in 2006, and these have been ongoing. The company made consistent improvement over the years, but gains were small in the 2015 period (see chart below). Managers thought the continuous improvement efforts did not yield the desired results and made some changes to the program to connect it to the Customer Experience program.
