KEYNOTE: You Can't Have Great CX Without Great Employee Experience Speaker: Megan Burns, founder and chief analyst, Experience Enterprises There’s an ongoing debate in CX over who companies should put first: customers or employees. But it's not an either-or proposition. Employee experience (EX) is just as, if not more, important than customer experience (CX) to the long-term health of a business. In this keynote session, CX expert and former Forrester VP Megan Burns will explain the difference between experience and engagement, and how changing the former helps boost the latter. You’ll come away with data and real-world examples that connect the dots between EX and areas such as empathy, customer-centricity, collaboration, and customer loyalty. And, you’ll get expert advice on deciding when it's best to put employee needs ahead of customer needs, and why. |
