The Importance of Company Culture
Company culture is crucial in driving both employee behavior and customer service expectations. It reflects the spoken and unspoken norms that guide how staff interact with one another and with customers. A robust culture of service helps employees perform under pressure because they revert to what they practice daily. For example, high-performing teams, like those at Zappos, excel in customer interactions due to their ingrained service mindset, which encourages them to help each other and their customers effectively.
