Customer Focus Knowledge Center

For decades, customer focus has been touted as the key to success. But talking about customer focus and actually taking action are not the same, and aligning company goals - and employees - with a customer focus and customer retention mindset has its challenges. While many organizations think their companies provide a "superior" customer experience, their customers may not rate their experience that way. This misalignment of perceptions contributes to growing customer dissatisfaction and negatively influences customer loyalty.

Many factors contribute to this gap; chief among them is how employees view themselves in relation to customers. HR can play a significant role in developing a customer-focused workforce. Offering product knowledge and customer communications training, providing non-cash rewards and small incentives, and granting employees the discretion to solve customers' problems are examples of effective strategies to make the workforce more customer-centric.
