In The Know : CX and EX

CX (Customer Experience) and EX (Employee Experience) are interconnected concepts that play a crucial role in the success of a business.

CX refers to the sum of all interactions a customer has with a company, which affects their perception and feelings about the brand. It’s about understanding and improving the way customers interact with a company at every touchpoint.

EX, on the other hand, is about the journey an employee goes through with a company, including their environment, tools, and relationships that enable them to perform their job effectively.

The relationship between CX and EX is symbiotic. A positive EX leads to more engaged and motivated employees, who are likely to deliver a better CX. When employees are satisfied and empowered, they tend to provide better service, leading to happier customers. Conversely, a negative EX can lead to disengaged employees, which can harm the CX and ultimately the company’s reputation and financial performance.

For instance, companies with highly engaged employees often see dramatic outperformance compared to their competitors. Engaged employees are more likely to understand the company’s mission and values, which puts them in a good position to address customers’ most complex challenges.

In summary, EX impacts CX by influencing how employees interact with customers. When employees have a positive experience, they are more likely to create positive experiences for customers, which can lead to increased customer loyalty and better business outcomes.
