Open leadership

Delivering choice and control through differentiation: 82% like it!

The thing about passion is that it is catchy…the energy it gives rubs off onto others.  A colleague of mine had a recent ‘service experience’ and wanted to share it with me and I would like to share it with all of you.  I would like to introduce you to Lucinde Klop (@Lucinde_K ) – another passionate customer service consultant from Accenture – and this is her service experience.

Selecting a new health insurance plan has been on my ‘to do list’ for a couple of weeks. I was not looking forward to this task, as I was expecting my only choice was between marginal differences in monthly payments and reimbursements.  However, when I finally got to it, I was highly surprised! Not only could I choose from monthly payment options, but I could also choose between various levels of service defined per insurance package.

Employee Share Purchase Plan: a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have

Should all employees be given the opportunity to own shares in the company? That was the main question in the BNR Leiderschap radio program in which I recently was a guest, together with Leen Zevenbergen (CEO Qurius) and Pascale Nieuwland from Stichting Nederlands Participatie Instituut. The interview with BNR Deputy Editor Rens de Jong was triggered by a study carried out by Radboud University Nijmegen, which showed that a share purchase plan that covers the entire company has a positive effect on the company and the productivity of its employees.
