Long gone are the days when customer service teams could offer just one communication channel to their customers. Today’s consumer wants choice. They want to decide whether to drop you an email, talk with a live chat agent, post a question on Facebook, or even text you through SMS. It’s not up to the brand how they communicate to the customer – it’s up to the customer to choose how they speak to the brand.

It would be difficult to find a small business that has not been adversely impacted by the current pandemic. And to say that most small business have been negatively impacted is putting it mildly. Recent findings from National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) show that the three leading causes of small business decline is due to 1) lost sales, 2) disruption in supply chain and 3) disruption in workforce due to employee illness.

Every action a business takes is now seen through the lens of the coronavirus pandemic. Business processes and workforce management considerations that were unthinkable a few short months ago, contact center leaders are revisiting. Call centers have become frontline workers in the wake of COVID-19. They are considered to be one of the most vulnerable places for the spread of this contagious virus.

There are a lot of stats that showcase how critical a customer experience program is to any business’ success. Some experts feel that companies stand to lose upwards of $75 billion if they don’t deliver a best-in-class experience. Other research points to a slightly lower, but still an eye-popping loss of $44 billion. While the potential revenue losses are enough to get any CEO’s attention, many companies still aren’t making CX a priority.

Over the past few weeks, most contact centers have transitioned some or all their agents to a work from-home environment—no easy task. First agents had to be set up with the tools and technology to be productive in their new setting. Once agents were home and safe, priorities shifted to keeping them engaged and productive. This is a lot to handle while also maintaining exceptional customer service outside of the traditional contact center.

Redundancy. Business Continuity. Those are major check boxes in every RFP we’ve ever responded to. Boxes to be checked on both sides of the equation – the buyer asked: “What’s your plan in case of disaster?” The bidders answered: “Here’s our plan in case of disaster….” Well, as the saying goes, humans plan and the gods laugh. As of today, we all have at least two months of real-world experience in how we would handle a disaster.

Last week, I noticed headlines announcing yet another business that’s decided it “won’t reopen half its offices after pandemic, amid restructuring and work-from-home success”. Maybe that’s not so shocking, though, considering that work-from-home contact center agents have an 80% better retention rate than those working out of a physical call center (according to a recent ICMI benchmark study on agent experience).

I’m really encouraged by the amount of focus and attention leaders are beginning to put on the employee experience. Not the specific role or job deliverables, but the overall well-being and journey that an employee takes with their employer. Understanding the journey from your employees’ perspective helps provide valuable perspective to encourage retention, loyalty, and even more happiness and fulfillment for the people you make your organization run.

This post first appeared in CMO Australia in late 2017. Thanks to Nadia Cameron for a great interview! Too many organisations are “doing” before “designing” when it comes to digital transformation and customer experience.

One night no train came through. The usual train was taken out of circulation for maintenance and a substitute was unavailable.

When patients form a positive relationship with their healthcare provider—or when members have a good experience with their health insurance plan—they become more engaged in their care and loyal to an organization. For both healthcare providers and payers, the experience is of the utmost importance. So how can the healthcare industry continue to improve the patient or customer experience in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic—and in the post-pandemic environment?
