CX or EX: the chicken or the egg?

High employee engagement (EX) leads to high customer satisfaction (CX)

More detailed information

Customer experience is the new battleground for marketers. Almost 90% of the companies expect to compete primarily on the basis of the customer experience and consider the employee role to be crucial in this. According to research, 79% of employees at companies with above-average customer experience are highly engaged in their work. And that compares to 4% of employees at companies with average or below average customer satisfaction scores.


High employee engagement (EX) leads to an increase in customer satisfaction (CX). Hence the equation EX=CX. 


In that perspective, employee engagement is an engine for happy customers and together they become an accelerator for growth. Organisational growth provides a financial boost. It also creates business momentum and increases motivation.


We sometimes talk about the golden triangle. If you succeed in strategically linking the three topics, you will be much better equipped for the future.


The question is now is: which one comes first? That’s what we will reveal in this presentation.
