giffgaff + Qualtrics

How telecoms leader giffgaff uses customer feedback to fuel its growth

giffgaff is one of the UK’s biggest mobile network providers, its name derived from a Scots phrase for ‘mutual giving’. That idea of giving back to its members is central to the company’s attitude to feedback: it’s committed to listening to them at every turn and taking action quickly. With Qualtrics, it’s able to bring its members into every part of its business and enable every team to make customer-centric decisions - all while keeping costs down and reducing the time it takes to generate insights.

Zooming in on the employee experience during COVID-19


Acting fact in the midst of a crisis

National Grid was able to reach out to all colleagues across the business to learn how COVID-19 was affecting them, utilising the fast and responsive Qualtrics XM Platform they already had in place. Rather than a single annual EX survey, it was able to field multiple targeted studies quickly and easily.

Enabling leaders to make the right decisions

Using bespoke dashboards, National Grid’s leadership team was able to access fast, real-time data on the colleague experience, decide on the correct course of action, and communicate the findings to their own local teams.

Delivering personalised outcomes at scale

Qualtrics enabled National Grid to combine enterprise-level employee listening with the ability to take action at an individual level. The response from colleagues has been overwhelmingly positive, and the experience has set a template for how National Grid can continue to give its workforce a real voice.

Qualtrics put us in control of the research that we do. However, we hadn't realised just how important Qualtrics was going to be to us during the months of COVID-19. What we’ve learned from our colleagues over the last few months has actually changed our business forever.
