Airports Council International launched the Employee Survey for Customer Experience

The ECE is designed to:

• understand whether there might be a need to increase the commitment of airport staff to achieve the common goal of improving the customer experience;
• provide a global index which is structured around 3 determinants, 10 components and 73 questions;
• assess whether airport stakeholders collectively have the desire, ability and determination to deliver an outstanding customer experience;
• help airports prioritize areas of improvement and to support development of an action plan toward the enhancement of the overall customer experience; and,
• allow airports to benchmark their customer experience initiatives and share best practice with other participating airports.

Participating airports would also benefit from the accompanying ECE toolkit that offers:

• an online, self-administered questionnaire;
• a unique link and access code;
• web reporting with search capability (type of entry, function, stage of customer journey, employer, seniority); and,
• strategic recommendations for the entire airport written by an expert consultant.

“Airports have learned that to provide customer experience excellence, the entire airport community must be involved,” said Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World. “ ACI has developed ECE and the ECE toolkit to support our Member airports in assessing and improving their engagement with all staff working in an airport—ultimately improving employee satisfaction; the passenger experience; and revenue growth, as well as raising the customer service bar across the industry.”

The ECE is the ideal complementary tool for existing Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Member Airports. The ASQ programme is the only worldwide programme to survey passengers at the airport on their day of travel. Every year, the Programme delivers some 600,000 individual surveys in 41 languages in 84 countries. It measures passengers’ views of 34 key performance indicators, including airport access, check-in, security screening, restrooms, stores and restaurants.
