Person-Centered Customer Service
Why YIJ Customer Sensitivity Training Makes Dollars & Sense...
Studies show that employee turnover in customer service roles averages 30-45% annually, with some sectors experiencing even higher rates. The cost of replacing an employee can range from 16% to 20% of their annual salary, creating financial strain on businesses and affecting customer satisfaction.
One of the primary reasons for this turnover is a lack of pre-vetting and proper training before employees begin interacting with customers. 72% of consumers say that a single poor customer service experience will lead them to stop doing business with a company. Businesses need a proactive approach to hiring and training employees who will represent their brand with excellence.
