Customer experience is a culmination of a multitude of customer touch points, throughout the customer journey and throughout the relationship. Whilst more traditional customer service might focus on the direct physical and virtual interaction with customers, customer experience considers the entire lifecycle of a customer and all factors that could impact their awareness, understanding, attraction, purchase, service and advocacy of a brand, product or service. Organisations who proactively design, manage, monitor and adapt their customer journey often see both financial and brand affinity rewards in increased customer retention and recommendations. To be effective, the responsibility for customer experience management rarely resides solely with just one department because it requires a coordinated effort from across an organisation. Workplace and facilities management is a vital contributor to customer experience and can play a significant role in developing and using innovative tools, practices and measures to enhance it. This category is about impact so the judges want to see submissions that are evidence based and demonstrate results.
