Exhibitor Big Ideas - Utilising AI to create engaged frontline employees & an unparalleled customer experience

Store employees are the face of retail organisations, directly influencing the customer experience (CX). These same workers are often one of the largest cost centers at a company, meaning their employee experience (EX) is vital to unlocking additional productivity and efficiency. Combine the two, and the impact frontline employees have on both the top and bottom line is significant.  

But what would it mean to your organisation if you could achieve your employee experience goals and increase the ROI of your customer experience investment simultaneously?  

Join WorkJam, the world’s first digital frontline workplace, and Qualtrics, the leader and creator of the experience management category, as they share strategies to utilise the power of AI to bridge the gap between CX and EX to turn real-time employee and customer insights into direct action. The result? A more engaged and productive workforce, increased customer satisfaction, and a better top and bottom line.

The promise of GenAI in retail is as large, if not larger than the promise of the Internet was back in the 1990s, but will also come with its own challenges. In this session Deborah and Jon, both long-time retail veterans, will discuss what can work and what might not for global retailers with this new technology. From personalization at scale to privacy they'll break down what trends retailers need to be watching for when it comes to how best to use GenAI in their businesses, and perhaps more importantly when not to.

It’s easy to take the handbrake off your growth targets and expand into new territories worry-free, right?
