Take Your Customer To Work Day
The Idea
Take your customer to work day (a twist on take your kids to work day)How It Works
Invite your customer into your workplace to shadow an employee; parties are encouraged to sign up and then pairedOpen your office, back-shop, or factory doors for the day to give your customers a behind the scenes glimpse of your working environment
Your employees represent your brand for the day
Customers see for themselves what truly makes your company special
Why It Works
It’s the ultimate case for accountability and transparencyResponsible businesses will be rewarded for their good practice; irresponsible competitors will be exposed. Can you imagine the charade some companies would try to pull? False scripting points and employee actors!
Obviously this idea would be difficult to make happen. But if a few influential partners jumped aboard and issued a corporate challenge, I believe it could potentially make a real, positive impact.

That’s a great idea but it’s hard to do for most of companies

That is a great idea! I know that for every job I have ever had, being an employee definitely gave me a more objective view on the work done. This sounds like a great way to give customers a chance to see the work that goes into a specific business without having to work for them.
