Employee Experience
EMPLOYEE IMPRESSIONS MEET BRAND EXPERIENCE
Be nice to your employees. They’re one of your greatest brand assets. The first and foremost ambassadors of your brand. Out there on the front lines, promoting your brand, and seeing firsthand how clients interact with it. Which is why it’s super important to make sure your employees are getting all they need to make your brand shine. That’s where we come in. We help measure, monitor, and manage the overall employee experience, so they can best advocate for your brand and inspire loyalty. Which is a big bonus for you — from reducing training and recruiting costs to more loyal customers.

Brand Experience
CREATIVITY MEETS BRAND METRICS
If creativity is the soul of your brand, then data is your DNA. We bring them both together by taking the data and insights cultivated from hexa — our customer experience management platform — and engineering the brands that people truly love. How do we do it? We optimize experiences and test new concepts. Build business cases. Diagnose perception challenges. And offer relevant value. The result: data-driven brands with a seriously human touch.

Yes, something as vague and fluid as customer experience can be measured, and managed.
Think of us as your partner in bringing your CX culture to life.
It goes without saying. But we’re going to say it anyway. Knowledge is only as good as what you do with it. Numbers, data, statistics. They need context, insights. And at the Union Institute, we’re all about transforming this knowledge, into action. How do we do it? We take our findings, and we partner with people like you — professionals, teams and organizations to map out a way to bring it all to life. Ultimately, helping to design a proactive service culture for all.
