organizational and operational performance.
The key to success is an effective workforce, as such;

7. Customer Experience
A stimulating purchasing environment is a simple, effective
way to make an impact on your sales and earnings.
Decisions to buy are largely emotional, so companies have to generate
positive emotions when its representatives and customers interact.
An exciting work environment makes employees spontaneously embrace
customer experience.
Stand Out From the Competition
Customer service isn’t what it used to be, and customers are increasingly
disillusioned. However, they are pleasantly surprised when they receive
service that stands out from the competition, even just a little. Customer
experience is therefore the new strategic imperative when it comes to
customer service.
Drakkar has long realized the importance of customer experience and
has invested in acquiring the talent and skills required to create a specialized
customer experience practice.

An Investment That Pays Off Customer experience:

the emotion that they want customers to experience. We then help set
service quality objectives, which are achieved using a variety of tools:

> training and coaching
> continuous improvement

Management
When different people have the chance to integrate and put
their experience and skills to use, cultural diversity can
become a source of wealth.
Managing cultural diversity goes beyond employment equity: it

a new societal direction, but also because it delivers added
value to your company.

companies face new challenges,
such as labour shortage, massive retirement, a decreasing
