How HappySignals is used at Reckitt

1. IT uses Happiness as a Key KPI

Since 2019, Reckitt has used Happiness as the key indicator for IT.

2. Source of information for VoC program

HappySignals is the agreed mechanism for hearing the Voice of the Customer (VOC) and gathering associated data.

3. Formal XLAs with IT service providers

Reckitt introduced formal XLAs to its IT service providers to create a common, shared focus on Experience.

4. Central part of business reviews

HappySignals provides a global view of happiness and trends, removing the need to dig through individual tickets and data manually.

Challenges overcome with HappySignals

Since 2019, Happiness has been the key driver for Reckitt's IT improvements.

 

The challenges that were identified before using HappySignals and overcome with the help of the platform were:

  • From lacking structured VOC data from end-users to full transparency and regular reviews of HappySignals data
  • From having service level agreement (SLA)-focused IT vendor contracts to formal Experience Level Agreements (XLA) to create a common focus on Experience
  • From developing services based on 'gut feeling' to using experience data for all types of IT initiatives
  • From 4% response rates to 25% response rates, with end-users understanding that they impact how IT evolves.
