phs Group have a relentless commitment to simple, effortless, relevant, and valued customer experiences and Ryan Davies, our head of customer experience and business transformation, shares more about a recent prestigious customer award nomination and what else we do for customers.
Leading the way for customers
The Institute of Customer Service are the UK’s leading authority on everything customer service and advocates of service excellence. Landing a finalist nomination in their customer satisfaction awards 2023 is extra special.
The nomination in the Best Application of Technology category is for our innovative deployment of the Wordnerds customer text analysis tool to understand how a customer feels across multiple touchpoints. This includes customer satisfaction surveys, customer complaints and feedback via MyPHS, our customer portal.
The tool goes beyond natural language processing and uses artificial intelligence with linguistics to understand customer sentiment, giving us actionable data and insight. It is thanks to our customers and their valuable feedback that we secured the nomination.
Our collaboration partners at Wordnerds have also loved seeing how phs are using the tool. Lyndsay Stenhouse, their customer success manager, said: “Working with phs is an absolute joy as their drive to find the true voice of the customer is so evident. They have pushed the boundaries of their initial use case to explore what the Wordnerds technology is capable of, demonstrating their passion for customer experience through the action driven by insights they have uncovered.”
So, what have we done with the insight and feedback?
In short, lots! Continuous improvements include an invoice explainer and content for phs Serve, our customer culture training programme. We also use the Wordnerds tool for our employee engagement surveys to assess how an employee feels, reinforcing the link between great employee experience and great customer experiences.
The countdown is now on to the 7th of March awards night, but in the meantime, we will be continuing to look for more solutions to make working with phs as easy and seamless as possible.
