You Don’t Have To Go Undercover To Be An Undercover Boss
I love the reality show, Undercover Boss. Recently, the show was |
1. Don’t assume your employees are happy. Ask them. Just as you need to understand your customers and give them the ability to tell you when you are not delivering outstanding service, one needs to ask employees if they are happy working for you and the reasons behind their answer. I worked for a company that had huge turnover (no one was happy) and the internal culture was poor. The CEO did an anonymous survey to figure out the issues. People did not hold back and lambasted the company. The CEO called an emergency meeting and addressed a series of issues with a promise for monthly meetings and a plan to get everything back on course. The meetings never happened and nothing changed!

Make your company a place where employees want to be. 2. Give your employees a voice. 3. Walk in their shoes. Three simple actions you can do right now as an Undercover Boss:

The DiJulius Group welcomes Dr. Gary Grosel
Due to our rapid growth in Customer Experience Consulting, The DiJulius Group (TDG) has added another Customer Experience Consultant. Meet Gary Grosel, MD. Gary joins TDG after 20 years in medicine as an OB/GYN physician. Gary also founded a recertification company in 2004, which is still going strong today and he remains co-owner. As a physician, Gary always had an obsession with the patient experience, but due to the bureaucracy of medical organizations, was never able to fully realize this vision until joining our team. Besides being a Customer Experience Consultant, Gary is also the Dean of the Customer eXperience Executive Academy, where he has received the nickname ‘Doctor Doom’ due to his rigorous curriculum and tests. “I have renewed energy waking up everyday, knowing I can go out to businesses and help them obsess about the Customer Experience. I used to be reprimanded in the medical field for making other doctors “look bad” because I cared for patients in ways that made a patient feel more than just a number or a diagnosis. The DiJulius Group gives me the opportunity to go into good companies and make them GREAT! Now I am rewarded for doing what I always thought was the only way to treat patients, customers, clients and employees alike. On top of that, as dean of CXEA, I can teach others to be able to train their staff while holding executive positions concentrating on the Customer Experience.” *This article was written by Gary Grosel MD, Customer Experience Consultant for The DiJulius Group. |
