Customer delight through employee engagement (and not the other way around)

Share

Most organisations are familiar with the customer-service tool: ‘Net Promotor Score (NPS)’. It’s a clear indicator to examine customer loyalty and the extent to which customers would recommend their company to others. Additionally, it connects the customer feedback with the right people within the organisation. However, as employee engagement specialists, we tend to believe that the classical NPS overlooks the fact that the customer delight circle actually begins internally. Yes, within your own workforce.

eNPS: measure the engagement of your employees

Employees who are thrilled to work for you, who put in the time and effort for your company: Isn’t that an employer's dream? That sense of engagement results in employees that are loyal to your organisation, who feel happy and eventually will endorse your organisation within their network. If you wish to measure this employee engagement, that’s when the employee Net Promotor Score (eNPS) comes in. This indicator shows a score that represents the degree to which employees would promote your organisation as a workplace and what they experience as positive or rather negative. You can use these insights to create an organisation full of ambassadors. But why are these ambassadors crucial for your company?

An inconvenient truth

A staggering 87% of all employees are not engaged or even disengaged. Many companies are experiencing a crisis of engagement and aren’t aware of it (Gallup). However, companies with highly engaged workforces outperform their peers by 147% in earnings per share. Studies have shown that companies with people that are engaged run twice the revenue and four times the profit compared to companies with non-engaged employees. In other words, happy employees make happy customers make happy shareholders. It’s that simple.
