Customer satisfaction in the UK: sector analysis now available
13 sector reports are available based on UKCSI data from 26,000 consumer responses. The reports include customer satisfaction rankings of leading organisations in each sector, as well as key insights into the drivers of satisfaction and loyalty.
Retail dominates customer satisfaction ratings
In the face of tough trading conditions, the retail industry continues to improve its customer service, strengthening its position at the top of the latest UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI). The UKCSI is the national measure of customer satisfaction which gauges the quality of UK customer service through 26,000 consumer responses each year. Find out more about the trends across all sectors, the top performing organisations and the link between customer satisfaction and business performance.
Handle with care: complaints culture grows
The Institute's latest research report identifies that consumers are more inclined to complain when something goes wrong despite facing significantly less problems overall when buying goods than they did 5 years ago. It also includes insight into the state of complaints in the UK, why customers do or don’t complain if they have a problem, what issues customers complain about, and what drives satisfaction with complaint handling.
Is your organisation fit to face the future?
The Institute recently launched a ground-breaking report: The future of customer service: a blueprint for 2020. Organisations face a daunting set of service challenges that require immediate action, and this report aims to help leaders in their future strategy planning by creating a set of visions of what customer service will look like in 2020.
