The Sweet Spot: Integrating Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX)
Dates
Thursday, 23 May 2024
9am–4.30pm
Overview
While Customer Experience (CX) remains a cornerstone in building engagement and loyalty, its symbiotic relationship with Employee Experience (EX) is an untapped reservoir of strategic potential. Both dimensions serve as tactical imperatives for contemporary businesses, weaving into a tapestry of interrelated touchpoints that span from internal workflows to external customer relations. Although organisations have channelled significant effort into individual excellence in CX and EX, the true frontier of competitiveness lies in their seamless integration.
This ground-breaking program, the third and final instalment in a strategic three-part series, moves beyond traditional boundaries to focus on the interplay between CX and EX. Offered by the Customer Experience and Insight (CXI) Research Group and Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship in the School of Business, Law and Entrepreneurship at Swinburne University of Technology, the curriculum leverages the service blueprinting framework to dissect, visualise and re-engineer the intricate web that connects employee and customer actions, highlighting potential areas of tension and misalignment.
Much like CX, effective integration of CX and EX is not a one-off initiative but a perpetual process of refinement. Success in this area may require a fundamental shift in a company’s culture, communications or operational strategies. However, the return on this investment is evident, culminating in enhanced customer satisfaction and employee engagement, both feeding into optimised business performance.
This program is meticulously crafted to navigate participants through the labyrinth of CX and EX integration, equipping them with the intellectual framework and hands-on tools to construct a unified and responsive experience ecosystem. While beneficial as a standalone learning module, it serves as a capstone when undertaken as part of the entire series, offering holistic mastery over the contemporary landscape of customer and employee experience.
