2016 Innovation & Transformation Awards: A framework for Amazing Customer Experience at Affinion International

2016 Innovation & Transformation Awards: A framework for Amazing Customer Experience at Affinion International

See the full Case Study

An assessment framework that engages the entire business has made it possible for QA to provide actionable insight and work with Operations to drive real change for clients & their ‘customers’. By involving front-line agents, building a QA team with accredited, professional skills & using The Forum’s network to learn from external organisations, the Customer Experience & QA team created & implemented new service standards that underpinned an Amazing Customer Experience (ACE). Deliberately moving away from a tick-box approach, this was integrally linked with a change programme that is building a new culture, with Power of Tone training, Coach the Coach & an ACE Academy for new recruits. This consistent, 360 degree approach raised standards, creating efficiencies & process improvements that saved c£50,000 in the first year.

Key Results

  • 33% more gold standard calls
  • Service related complaints down 38% year-on-year
  • QA time per call down 4 mins, productivity up 20% 
  • Almost £50,000 saved by process improvements in year one
