HEIGHTENED COMPETITIVE PRESSURES 
READYING THE WORKFORCE


The Problem

Preparing for the competitive onslaught in the wireless industry required significant cost cutting, along with a keen focus on delivering superior service to customers. Employee commitment to change was essential.

The Communications Solution

A comprehensive series of well-executed communications and culture building aimed at:

  • Appreciating that what worked in the past wouldn’t sustain future success;

  • Showcasing leaders united in support of the effort;

  • Defining “superior customer service” in clear, behavioral terms;

  • Involving employees to solicit ideas and commitment.

The Results

  • Data confirmed most employees understood the rationale for change;

  • Employee behavior and language changed in support of delivering superior service;

  • Decisions were made with “actual” and “perceived” costs as key criteria;

  • Employees launched regional cost savings programs driving cash cost per unit to all-time lows.
