Assessment 1

Part A

Do you agree with ASB that engaged employees and satisfied customers are inseparable? Why or why not? Provide examples from your own experience to illustrate your answer.

Yes I do agree with ASB because the organization must encourage the employees to engagement in the process in order to make the customers satisfaction. The employees must always present themselves in a positive manner such as greeting the customers nicely and willing to help them all the time.

To assess customer’s emotional engagement, the bank asked customer to respond to statement like they always treats customer with respect, customer feel proud to be an ASB customer. The bank believes that engaged are key to engaged customers.

According to my own experience I have been to the bank so many times and the staff always treats me nicely and professionally.

What role do you believe employee engagement plays in earning customer loyalty?

The employees are involved in using a mystery shopper surveys

Telephoning the customers who had a transaction with the bank

Asking the question while providing the services

Maintain a good relationship with the customers by using a nice greeting and thanking the customers at the end of service

What principles of improving customer satisfaction, engagement and retention does this case study illustrate? How can you apply them in your own workplace?

Profitability comes from having emotionally engaged customers and emotionally engaged customers come from fully engaged staff.

The bank devised a plan that included ensuring every employee knew its vision word for word. It gave employees vision statements to carry in their wallets, the vision statement was on every email employees sent and it hung in every bank. It was clear, memorable, understanding statement: To be New Zealand’s best bank and financial service provider and excelling in customer service.

In 2004 ASB was outperforming 90% of all companies in Gallup’s worldwide database of employment engagement. For four year the bank’s operating surplus grew by 20% and its assets increased by more than $7 million in there years.

How can apply in my workplace?

According to the principles above I can apply it to my workplace in several ways for example I will create a policy that all staff must response to the customer’s needs as quick as they can in order to make them satisfied and maintain a loyalty with them.
