UK Customer service and Human Resources

Management regards customer service as an essential element in the success of its business, and the division’s scale enables it to invest in industry-leading training. The Signet Jewellery Academy, a multi-year program and framework for training and developing standards of capability, is operated for all sales associates. It utilizes a training system developed by the division called the “Amazing Customer Experience” (“ACE”). An ACE Index customer feedback survey gives a reflection of customers’ experiences and forms part of the monthly performance statistics that are monitored on a store by store basis. In Fiscal 2011, the UK division implemented an improved coaching methodology and was recognized as one of the top ten large UK companies to work for by the annual Sunday Times survey.
