WPO Customer Experience

DOING THINGS RIGHT WHILE DOING THE RIGHT THING

Years of experience have shown us that every customer experience is unique and that each customer is the final arbiter in everything we do. We don’t measure success by how rigidly we comply with our processes. It’s whether we make a meaningful difference to the person we’re serving. In other words, our customer experience metrics can’t be just about doing things right. They have to measure whether we’re doing the right thing.

WPO Customer experience

At Workplace Options (WPO), customer experience isn’t just central to our business. It is our business. It’s what we do and all we do. By helping our customers’ employees resolve issues in their lives, overcome obstacles, improve their health and wellbeing, and be better employees and managers, we help our customer organisations succeed.

Organisational risk management has broad applications, from mitigating financial risk to recognising and managing risks in safety, quality, health, legal liability, and the organization's impact on the environment. Risks to and from an organisation's employees fall within the scope of risk management, typically with a focus on reducing the risk of accidents, injuries, or illness and putting controls in place to prevent employee theft or fraud. Workplace safety, for example, is commonly seen as part of risk management, and that concern extends to aspects of employee health, such as fatigue, that can impact accidents and error rates.

The concept of burnout is complex and the employer’s duty of care responsibility to assess and mitigate foreseeable risk is often misunderstood, even by well-meaning responsible employers. The purpose of this paper is to provide some general guidance for employers—and in particular HR practitioners—in meeting their baseline duty of care obligations to worker burnout regardless of the sector in which they operate. The author, Lisbeth Claus, is a Professor Emerita of Management and Global Human Resources at the Atkinson Graduate School of Management of Willamette University.

Workforce surveys around the world suggest that employee burnout – already a significant problem – may be getting worse. For employers, this can mean a costly drag on productivity. When workers are exhausted and emotionally distant from their jobs, they are unable to perform at their best and are more likely to make mistakes. They are also more likely to leave their jobs – draining the organisation of skills, knowledge and experience. Burnout at work can also affect all aspects of life, from health and relationships to career and finances.
