Remember the Great Resignation that followed the pandemic and started in early 2021<\/a>? Employees resigned en masse, citing limited career growth, hostile work culture, and long-standing work dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Well, it\u2019s back, but in a different form. Gallup calls<\/a> it the “Great Detachment,” where employees become increasingly detached from their work. Per Gallup\u2019s findings, 51% are looking for new jobs, the highest rate since 2015. And only 18% are satisfied with their current employers, reverting to its lowest point.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe bad news,\u201d states a Forbes article<\/a> on the Great Resignation comeback, \u201cis that you\u2019ll be hanging onto people who have one foot out the door, which means they’ll hardly give you their all.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And then there is quiet quitting<\/a>. According to another Gallup report, there were 50% or more of disillusioned US employees<\/a> by mid-2022, who only did the bare minimum to keep their jobs and \u201cnever went out of their way\u201d to perform better.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What\u2019s causing all this? One of the reasons, says Gallup\u2019s great detachment article, is the rapid post-pandemic evolution of employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) expectations. While employees seek better work-life balance, higher compensation, and flexible work (read remote), 56% of them say customers demand enhanced experiences.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The outcome is staring you right in the face: dissatisfied and disengaged employees are delivering mediocre customer experiences (CX) at best.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This blog is all about how to turn that around in your favor. It explores how you can implement effective strategies to enable improved employee engagement and EX, which, in turn, positively impacts CX.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The crucial link between EX and CX<\/h2>\n

Employee satisfaction and experience are no longer on the back burner; they are central concerns for most businesses, as EX undeniably drives CX\u2014a fact that has been established for decades now.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The way you engage with your employees can have both good and bad repercussions; these effects are not only confined to EX but also extend to CX. Stephen R. Covey\u2019s words reflect it aptly: “Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Not surprisingly, in an IDC research, 85% of respondents<\/a> believe that an improved EX and greater employee engagement translate to a better CX, customer satisfaction, and revenue.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s common sense that unhappy employees can\u2019t work well, creating a ripple throughout the business that, sooner or later, reaches your valued customers, too.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In a survey of over 1,000 U.S. employees<\/a>, 64% said that EX impacts how they help customers. Dissatisfied employees were significantly more likely to report adverse effects on customer service. They were:<\/p>\n
