Happy Employees Happy Customers

To make happy customers, focus on happy employees

The CallMiner Eureka platform uses conversation intelligence to provide insight that can lead to more satisfied employees and better customer experiences.

The biggest benefit of happy employees? Happy customers.

Most businesses invest a great deal of time and money on making customers happy. Yet, too often these organizations neglect one of the most important ingredients for positive customer experiences: happy workers. When employees are happy with their job, the benefits for the customer experience are enormous. Conversely, when employees are not happy, they can do enormous damage to the customer’s perception of a brand and experience with a company.

To develop happy employees and happy customers, organizations must take steps to understand the needs, wants, motivations, and opinions of their workers. While surveys can provide a partial view and conversations with supervisors offer anecdotal information, companies that want the deepest understanding of workplace happiness must mine employee interactions with colleagues, customers, HR, and other departments for insight into what will make their workers happy.

CallMiner can help. With conversation intelligence technology that can capture and analyze every employee interaction, the CallMiner Eureka platform delivers the tools to develop a roadmap for creating happy employees and happy customers.

Why happy employees mean happy customers

Happy employees create happy customers in several ways.

• Happiness is contagious. When employees engage customers with a great attitude and a warm smile, their positivity can inevitably rub off on customers.

• Better relationships. Happy employees strive to build stronger relationships with customers, handling customer needs with greater attention and presence.

• More creativity. Happier employees are more willing to engage in the creativity required to solve problems and meet customer needs.

• Knowledgeable service. Because employees who are happy in their work tend to stay with the company longer, they develop a broader understanding of the company’s products and services.

• Exceptional effort. Happy employees are more productive and are more willing to take the extra steps to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

If happy employees mean happy customers, the job for every organization is to understand what contributes to employee happiness. Certain factors like recognition, rewards, and room for growth are universal. But truly understanding what makes workers happy requires deeper analysis of their wants and needs. That’s where CallMiner excels.
