Empathy in Communications

A leading UK high street bank wanted to transform how it communicated with customers, Â especially during sensitive situations like missed payments, account issues, or for vulnerable customers. Too many letters seemed impersonal, leaving customers feeling like numbers rather than people.
Approach
We rewrote over 100 customer letters to bring empathy, clarity, and care into every interaction— ensuring even the most challenging messages offered support, not stress.

Customer engagement rose from 2% to 12%
100+ letters rewritten with warmth and simplicity

Approach
We designed and delivered a full empathy programme, including call listening, an empathy recognition system, an empathy in QA and a tailored training in OVO’s offshore contact centre in Durban, South Africa. We also created a dedicated programme for team leaders to sustain the culture shift and embed empathy into daily coaching.

Empathy in Leadership
Challenge
Lexus, the luxury car maker, wanted to reimagine the luxury car buying experience by putting empathy at the heart of every customer interaction—especially for female customers, who often felt excluded in traditional car showrooms.
Approach
We created a bespoke leadership programme for Lexus dealers, helping senior staff embed empathy into how they lead, sell, and serve. This included reshaping sales techniques, refreshing uniforms, redesigning showroom signage, and rethinking the overall customer journey—ensuring women felt seen, respected, and welcomed.
Results
Sales increased by 23%
Dealership culture transformed through leadership training
Female customers prioritised as part of a wider shift to human-first luxury
