Encouraging loyalty According to Adam Edmunds, president and CEO for Allegiance, "The Allegiance Customer and Employee Loyalty Awards is one way that we can publicly recognise the success of our clients and their focus on improving customer and employee loyalty. These organisations are all using customer and employee feedback to better understand their own 'pulse', and to act quickly on feedback to directly impact customer and employee loyalty."
Dr Gary Rhoads, co-founder of Allegiance, concluded: "Loyal customers will pay more for products than non-loyal customers and will actively share their positive experiences with others. The award winners understand that the investments they have made in their feedback systems are investments in future success."
