Employee productivity standards are directly proportional to customer satisfaction levels!
Customer satisfaction is the mantra for brand development, sales improvement and business growth. However, customer satisfaction is also the biggest challenge of the retail industry.
Hiring the right people for the varied roles in the retail industry and effectively managing this largely-diverse workforce is an absolute necessity in order to achieve the satisfaction of customers without going overboard on the budget. Synel UK’s Time and Attendance System enables businesses to do exactly that – by boosting the quality of customer service through better workforce management.
