The Key to Achieve Customer Relationship Excellence
Making banking simplified from
RHB Bank Berhad Singapore.

In this knowledge email, we would like to share how RHB Bank Berhad Singapore, the winner 2007 Customer Relationship Excellence Awards in the category of “Best Customer Experience Management of the Year 2007 (Banking Service)”, achieves Customer Relationship Excellence.

Excellent customer service must start from the top and from within

  • Service excellence has to be holistic.  It starts on the top and must be embraced by all levels of the management, departments and staff.

  • Benchmarking with other similar companies and external industry standards are a good way to gauge the current service standards in your company.

  •  With this, one can developed an action plan that outlines the strategic service thrusts and desired outcomes.

  • There is no short cut to customer excellence.

Employees are an important asset

  • When it comes to customer service, employees particularly the front-line employees play a very important role.  They are the face of the organization. Hence, it is essential that all employees, regardless of position stays engaged in the company.

  • During the initial stages of RHB Bank’s service revamp, the management had face-to-face dialogue with employees to communicate the vision, strategic thrusts and plans behind the change.

  • Change is difficult, but it is easier to adapt when one understands the need for the change.  This is when everyone in the organisation speaks and sings the same service language.

  • To encourage one to persevere, internal service awards needs to be implemented and sustained. 

  • At RHB Bank, we have the Service STAR Award. There are three categories, the highest level is the Emerald Award followed by Sapphire and Ruby service star badge. These are given to employees who have received accolades for their efforts from external customers/associates and internal colleagues.

  • As part of the award, they will be awarded a certificate of recommendation, the STAR Badge, monetary rewards, one-day off entitlement and other benefits such as movie tickets for the entire family.

  • RHB Bank holds regular activities for our employees as well as for their families. We recently held a durian feasts and treated them to the screening of the latest movie blockbusters, Batman. Every year, we hold company retreats, company trips and invite them to the finals of the RHB Singapore Cup, a yearly football championship in Singapore.

Small things makes the difference and set you well apart

  • Put yourself in your customers’ shoes, understand what they see at your branches.

  • RHB Bank practices the 5 senses – sight, smell, taste, sound, touch in all our branches.

  • The branches must look presentable and customers must feel welcomed. The branches must smell good, thanks to aromatherapy placed at the branches. We play pleasant music to smooth customers’ senses. There is a wide variety of complimentary beverages provided to all walk-in customers, the only bank to do so.  On a rainy day, we provide customers with a disposable raincoat.

  • When customers need to contact RHB, they can call our branch managers at their mobile to add that extra personal touch and comfort.

  • It’s with small details like this, customers will feel appreciated.

  • With this, comes customer satisfaction as well as satisfaction for the staff serving the customers.

  • Service excellence is a journey and it must be on-going without an end.

“Winning two consecutive service awards is a great testimony of our pursuit for service excellence. RHB Bank Singapore has a proven track record in the area of service excellence and we have succeeded in providing a great banking experience through innovation, dedication, flexibility and above all, great customer experience. With RHB Bank, banking is made personal.”
                                                                                                                                    Mr Lim Hun Joo, Country Head, RHB Bank Singapore

Testimonials

"With the keen competitions among the property developers, upgrading the existing Customer Service Hotline Center is the priority strategy in our company. After completing the “Certified Contact Center Manager” course, I find that there are still many parts in our hotline center need continual improvement. This course is valuable and provides many latest information and methods on running a successful world-class contact center."

Call Centre Manager, Hong Yip Service Co Ltd

"This (CCCM) course has provided solid up-to-date market info in terms of what the challenges are faced by Call Centre nowadays and how problems can be tackled. It offered room for thinking which may change the way we think to align with market trends. Meeting with people from other organisations has facilitated experience sharing which is something we cannot achieve solely by reading industry publications. I'm glad I've had a chance to take part in this course"
