Making Magical Moments in CX

RingCentral

To achieve the right outcomes in today’s competitive business world, organizations need to recognize that EX and CX are two halves of the same equation.

EX, or “Employee Experience” is the sum of everything a company does to empower, enlighten, and engage team members. It influences not only
how well the agent can perform in a contact center space, but also the emotional impact these specialists have on your target audience.

Every interaction with a customer involves a combination of both employee and customer experience. If team members are enriched with the right training, guidance, information, and technology, they can deliver the speed, efficiency, and personalization customers are looking for. In fact, around
70% of executives agree that improved results in EX also lead to better results in CX.
