Customers first! 💪 Customer service is a role that is often undervalued. Many organizations view this department as less technical and requiring minimal academic expertise. Atimes, recruitment is often based solely on the number of hands needed, without considering the value proposition. Interviews with customer service representatives often reveal a narrative where companies treat the unit as a "cost center," leading to feelings of job insecurity and a lack of influence in decision-making processes. While some organizations challenge this perception and prioritize a positive work culture, it is disheartening to note that a significant percentage of businesses neglect customer experience's value. Customer service is often viewed as just another department, unlike other business units such as IT, risk, and compliance etc which tend to prioritize their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) even if it comes at the expense of the overall customer experience. However, the success of an organization is intricately tied to the value placed on its workforce. Companies that prioritize customer experience are more likely to remain relevant in the business world compared to those solely focused on cost savings and using the call center to rectify issues from other units. Despite this prevailing trend, organizations often proudly proclaim that every customer is a king. So quality assurance measures are implemented to ensure respectful and professional interactions, emphasizing empathy and multitasking skills. Ignored, the question remains whether staff engagement, remuneration, and recognition practices within an organization reflect the importance of the customer service unit. All units within an organization should be considered equally important without discrimination. Many exceptional individuals in the customer service field, both in-person and virtually, rise above negative narratives. They prioritize customer needs, manage their emotions and continuously learn to provide top-notch services. Despite facing challenges and being occasionally talked down to by clients, they see their profession as a service to humanity and find satisfaction in assisting clients. Looking ahead, I believe there is hope for a shift towards a more balanced narrative that genuinely places the customer first in every aspect. To achieve this; all hands on deck must be prioritized when conducting job analysis! No to role discrimination! 👌 LET'S WORK, HAVE FUN, LEARN, EMBRACE POSTIVE CHANGE AND CONNECT! #customerservice #customerexperience #servicethatmatters #everyroleisrelevant #businessdevelopment

A high turnover rate among customer service agents can significantly impact customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and overall company performance. Why is calculating turnover important? - Identifies problem areas: Pinpointing departments or teams with high turnover helps identify root causes. - Measures retention efforts: Tracking turnover allows you to assess the effectiveness of your employee retention strategies. - Predicts future staffing needs: Accurate turnover data aids in workforce planning. What is a normal turnover rate? The "normal" turnover rate varies by industry and location. However, a generally accepted benchmark is a turnover rate below 30% ~ 45% How to reduce customer service agent turnover: - Invest in employee development: Offer opportunities for growth and advancement. - Create a positive work environment: Foster a supportive and inclusive culture. - Provide competitive compensation and benefits: Ensure your offerings are attractive. - Implement effective onboarding: Help new hires feel welcomed and supported. - Recognize and reward top performers: Show appreciation for outstanding work. #customerservice #turnover #employeeretention #humanresources #business #leadership

I had a debate with someone the other day: What is more important, your customers or your employees? 🤔 It’s a classic question where many will instinctively say, “Customers - Customers always come first”... but is that really true? The truth is, happy employees create happy customers. Companies that prioritise their employees’ well-being, growth, and engagement often find that customer satisfaction follows naturally. Why? Because motivated and cared for employees bring energy, empathy, and innovation to their work. They show up not just to do their job but to exceed expectations. Customers will ALWAYS notice that. On the flip side, if employees feel undervalued, overworked, or unsupported, it’s almost impossible for them to deliver exceptional service. Frustration, whether it is conscious or not, will be evident in the quality of their work which directly translates into the experience they’re providing, creating a transactional experience rather than genuine one. Richard Branson succinctly addressed this: "Take care of your employees, and they'll take care of your business, it is as simple of that". That’s not to say customers don’t matter, they definitely do. However, they are best served by empowered, enthusiastic, and equipped teams which all starts with initially bringing in the right talent into your team and then following that through with an engaging, motivating and developmental environment from the beginning. This is why your recruitment process is so important - make sure you understand your employees and potential employees. What are you thoughts on who comes first? Employees or customers? #recrutiment #employeeexperience #culture #talent

The S.T.A.R. method is a game-changer for anyone looking to showcase their impact and achievements at an interview or during performance reviews at work. Here's what each letter stands for: ✅ Situation: Briefly describe the context or challenge you faced. ✅ Task: Clearly define your role and responsibilities in the situation. ✅ Action: Detail the specific steps you took to address the challenge. Emphasize the skills and strategies you used. ✅ Result: Highlight the outcome of your actions and the concrete impact it had. Quantify your achievements whenever possible. Example 1: Improved Customer Satisfaction 🌟 Situation: Our customer satisfaction scores were declining, impacting customer retention. 🌟 Task: As the customer service team lead, I was responsible for identifying the root cause and implementing solutions to improve customer satisfaction. 🌟 Action: I conducted customer surveys, analyzed feedback, and held team meetings to understand the issues. We implemented new training programs, streamlined complaint resolution processes, and empowered frontline staff to resolve issues independently. 🌟 Result: Customer satisfaction scores increased by 20% within six months, and customer retention rates improved by 15%. Example 2: Increased Sales Revenue 🌟 Situation: Our sales team was struggling to meet quarterly sales targets, resulting in missed revenue goals. 🌟 Task: As the sales manager, I was tasked with developing and implementing strategies to boost sales performance. 🌟 Action: I analyzed sales data to identify top-performing sales reps and their strategies. I implemented a new sales training program, introduced performance-based incentives, and provided additional coaching and support to the team. 🌟 Result: Sales revenue increased by 30% in the following quarter, exceeding the quarterly target by 15%. Use this method to impress your boss, clients and interviewer. Want to practice using this method? Share a work challenge you faced and let's brainstorm a S.T.A.R. response in the comments! #LadyMercedes #interviews #performancereviews #careers #jobseekers #humanresources #management
