Employee Surveys

 

Two Sides of the Same Coin

Customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction are two sides of the same coin. Customers and employees want the same things.

Customers want...	Employees want...
To get what they are promised	The tools/ systems/ policies to do their job
Their problems resolved	Empowerment to solve problems
Their needs listened to/understood	More/ better feedback
Knowledgeable employees; adequate information	More training; more/ better feedback
Employees to take the initiative, take responsibility, represent the company	Empowerment; clear priorities; inclusion in the company's big picture
The company to value their business	Clear priorities; the tools/systems/policies to do their job

 

Kinēsis helps our clients understand both sides of customer-employee interface by understanding both employee engagement and the customer experience.

Employee Engagement

Employee engagement research is designed to help identify and measure extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that have the strongest links to employee satisfaction and engagement, helping banks increase profitability by understanding the connection between employee satisfaction, engagement, and loyalty; and customer satisfaction, loyalty and profits.

Intra-Organization Customer Experience

While engagement is important, a best practice is to move employee surveys beyond employee engagement and toward an understanding of what is going on at the customer-employee interface by leveraging employees as a valuable and inexpensive resource of customer experience information.

In addition to measuring engagement, we help managers of the customer experience understand what is going on at the customer-employee interface. This research gathers impressions of the customer experience, evaluates the level of support within the bank, solicits recommendations, and compares perceptions by position (frontline vs. management to identify any perceptual gaps between management and the frontline.
