Results of April 2022 Customer Satisfaction Survey
Interface is committed to listening, learning, and sharing. It is embedded in our mission to go above and beyond to attract and retain customers, invest in our team members, foster innovation, strengthen our brand, and create a partnering and thriving environment.
One of the tools we use to gather feedback is through our semi-annual customer surveys. It is a formal process where we reach out to our customers to ask for their opinions, ideas, and suggestions for improvement. Though this only one of the tools we use, we also gather feedback through our team members and customer interactions every day. As an organization and throughout our global sales network, we value every response and shared experience. It helps inform our team members and provide us with insight into what matters most to our customers.
In our most recent Customer Satisfaction and NPS Survey, conducted throughout April 2022, we asked five questions. The first question, known as Net Promoter Score® identifier, we asked customers How likely is it that you would recommend Interface to a friend or colleague? They were able to select 0-10, with 10 being extremely likely and 0 not at all likely. The percentage of people that answer with a 9 or 10, are considered promoters. Responses that are 6 or less are considered detractors. The NPS rating is decided by the percentage of promoters minus the percentage of detractors. This is how you calculate an NPS rating.
We are incredibly pleased to announce that our NPS rating in April 2022 is +54. According to the creator of the NPS, the average company scores less than +10 on the NPS, while the highest performing organizations are between +50 and +80. These values vary considerably from sector to sector and from culture to culture. Interface recognizes the importance of our customer input through this question and though we have ranked in the highest performing category in six surveys, we do take this as a measure that offers opportunity to continuously improve to exceed expectations.
