Employee engagement is our passion.
Employee Recognition & Appreciation programs are strategic tools for creating an engaged and empowered workforce while signaling the desired work habits and behaviors. By positively reinforcing and recognizing best practices, employees are motivated to continue to deliver exceptional customer service that directly impacts their job satisfaction, customer experiences and the organizational bottom line.
CXE uses the latest in web-based technology to track, organize and reward employees while fostering an engaged service culture through motivating and memorable rewards and events. Paired with custom marketing tools, branding and a strategic communication plan, CXE works collaboratively with each client to create a program that fits their specific needs, culture and objectives. CXE’s custom Recognition & Appreciation Programs, when integrated with CXE Training, Performance Management, and Leader and Manager Development, creates an all-inclusive approach to excellent customer experiences and an impactful, organization-wide service culture.
How does the Employee Experience (EX) drive CX?
A positive and effective employee experience that motivates teams is one that connects the employee experience with the customer journey. Alone, the employee experience encapsulates what they encounter, observe or feel over the course of their time with an organization. However, when an employee understands the role that they play in the customer journey, and that their actions can positively influence the customer experience, they can fulfill their potential and maximize their contributions towards success.
