Aflac manages customer interactions during highly stressful life events, such as cancer diagnoses, where empathy and support are crucial. “This can be a very traumatic and emotional time. You really don’t know how to navigate everything, you are scared, and processes can be complicated. We recognize a special need for those customers,” Daniel explained. Ensuring that employees are well-equipped, trained and motivated to handle such sensitive interactions is essential. Aflac’s challenge was to prioritize ease of interaction, help reduce stress for both customers and employees, streamline processes, and maintain high levels of customer satisfaction.
Aflac adopted a holistic approach to the human experience, integrating customer and employee experiences to achieve tangible business results. Key initiatives included:
The strategic focus on Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX) has led to remarkable achievements for Aflac: y An 11-percentage point increase in Customer Ease within 2 years, and a 15% reduction in average handling time. y Boosted tenure of their agent specialists by 10 percentage points, resulting in a more experienced and capable workforce. y Enhanced customer satisfaction, leading to higher loyalty and increased referrals. y Recognition of Mary Daniel on the Constellation Research AX100 list for her innovative approach to transforming customer experiences.
Aflac's journey with Avaya exemplifies how a balanced approach to technology and human empathy can revolutionize business operations. Daniel notes, “In our line of work it is essential to understand that you can’t digitize empathy…Companies are quick to scale digital solutions, but to achieve value at scale there needs to be a healthy balance between humans and technology.” By focusing on the holistic human experience, Aflac has not only enhanced customer and employee satisfaction but also achieved substantial business success, underscoring the importance of intentional, empathetic innovation in driving long-term growth and customer loyalty.
