Top Takeaways:   
A Good customer experience starts with a good employee experience. The CX will never be better than the EX. 
 
An employee experience revolution is where great companies have leaders who help people live extraordinary lives with meaning and purpose. 
 
The culture of a company is a major driver of the customer experience. As leaders, we set the tone for what the culture is supposed to be. A positive employee experience contributes to a healthy company culture, which affects their motivation and satisfaction. Ensuring a positive employee experience is as essential for your business's success as delivering outstanding customer experience. 
 
There is a quote that says, "You are the average of the five people you surround yourself with." However, in the workplace, your employees cannot choose their five. When a superstar employee is surrounded by underperformers, it can be challenging for them to maintain excellence. Making the right hiring decisions sets the stage for a positive work environment and facilitates the company's and its employees' success. As leaders, we are responsible for creating a team that helps each other excel. 
 
Every employee plays a role in customer experience. Regardless of their position, from the front desk to the C-suite, each employee contributes to customer perception and the company's success. 
 
Prioritizing employee satisfaction and fulfillment is essential for business success. Just as companies strive to fulfill their customers' needs, they must also address the needs of their employees. Companies can boost productivity and morale by providing a work environment that supports employees' growth and fulfillment. 
 
Executive sponsorship is crucial for a successful investment in customer experience. Leaders must empower and support training and customer-centric initiatives. By providing the necessary resources and guidance, executives can drive the company's commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Quote:  
"The two biggest mistakes companies make in staffing are hiring just anyone to replace turnover and looking the other way on poor performers."
