With a focus on high-touch customer service, the lean team of seven provides support via phone, email, and digital calls to actively address Members' ever-changing needs, identify opportunities for growth and product adoption, and develop creative solutions for each Member to maximize their benefits. As a result of the strategic style of tackling Member needs and training, the team boasts a customer service satisfaction score (CSAT) of 92% for Discovery calls and a 94.8% CSAT for Product calls – far outweighing the industry average of 75-85%.

This recognition marks the second consecutive year DirectEmployers has been honored with this award, and this third-party recognition serves as a valuable benchmark for the company's commitment to defining excellence in customer service and Member support. More than 2,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry in 44 nations and territories were considered in this year's competition.

"We are honored to be recognized again by the Stevie® Awards," said Kate Larrabee, DirectEmployers Manager of Member Engagement. “It's clear that we have the right team in place to carry out our mission of defining excellence in not only customer service but also Member engagement. It's great to receive confirmation that in spite of such a rapidly changing employment and regulatory landscape, our Members can turn to us to receive the best-in-class customer service and support they deserve."
