A large retail bank found that despite clear direction from the executive that customer service was a top priority, customer attrition was increasing and sales of products remaining flat. Front line staff feedback showed they felt the Bank should focus more on customer service. How did this situation occur? What information was available to top management to understand what factors were influencing the perception and behaviour of front line staff?
An independent review of the situation uncovered the issues and resulted in a bespoke training and communication programme for team leaders and key performance management and reward mechanisms being changed. The result was a 20% increase in customer loyalty in 3 months and all time high customer service scores. Sales are now increasing.
