Project:
Enwave Energy Corporation provides outsourced district heating and cooling services in North America to government, institutional buildings, sports, convention, and entertainment facilities, as well as hotel, residential and commercial complexes.
Perception Insight has conducted numerous employee and customer satisfaction performance benchmarking surveys for Enwave since 2000.
In a recent customer satisfaction survey, Perception Insight was asked to benchmark, measure and determine company performance based on customer expectations including re-purchase decisions, staffing, operations, market competitiveness, accounting and the ability to provide value for money.
The survey of 142 clients from 62 companies was conducted online and via telephone with a 76% response rate.
Result:
This research gave Enwave a better understanding of their customers’ perceptions and needs and enabled Enwave to make some key changes within their organization to enhance customer service. They specifically hired additional staff in the customer service area, and began to develop a long-range business plan.
The company won the Distribution System of the Year Award for its leadership in conducting the research. The information was also shared with prospective bidders for the valuation of the business, prior to its sale in October 2012.
