Engineering the Employee Experience
Develop the people who run the operation
Agents treat customers the way they are treated. Engineering the Employee Experience is the sister program to
Engineering the Customer Experience, and it works on how your people are treated: what “good” looks like in each role,
how they are rated, and how they grow. It starts with a competency career path built for your operation, then a
review cycle your managers are certified to run on their own. Led by a licensed Organizational Psychologist and
Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, with workshops already delivered to 250+ employees.
Module 1 · The competency career path
One standard, from agent to director
- 5 core values everyone is rated on, each with five observable levels.
- 6 agent competencies: Communication · Self-Leadership · Organized · Analytical Thinker · Results Driven · Integrity.
- 6 leadership competencies for supervisors and managers: Engaging Communication · Lead · Organized Execution · Systems Thinker · Drives Results & Change · Integrity & Fairness.
- A 5-role career ladder from Customer Care Agent to Director, with the level each role requires and the CXE and Belt credential for each step.
- Reviews with evidence: self, manager and peer ratings, calibration across managers, and a development plan reviewed every month.
