Customer Relationship Management

Customer Satisfaction Improvement System

We will continue aiming to achieve sustainable business growth by enhancing customer engagement and actively breaking ground in new life design fields, especially those related to telecommunications. To better understand the needs of our customers and provide more fulfilling and convenient lifestyles, we aim to further improve customer experience (CX) and provide customers with exciting experiences by expanding our life design services into areas like commerce, energy, finance and entertainment, focusing on our existing communication services.
Toward that aim, we at all departments strive to refine and connect all points of contact with the customers, working on cross-departmental improvements across au Shops, CS, My au app, communication and sound quality, products, website, rates and services. We share the progress at the CX Promotion Meeting that is held once a month, attended by top executives, to speed up the process.
Many evaluations, criticisms and comments we receive from customer questionnaires form the guidelines for our behavior. Reflecting these opinions sincerely in our business completes the cycle of offering further value to our customers.

Collecting Customer Feedback

We sincerely listen to valuable customer feedback and immediately translate it into action to continuously refine our services and quality. Based on their opinions and demands, we analyze and identify problems using the internal system that is updated daily. When prompt decision making is required, management executives and representatives of related divisions meet and discuss how to solve problems throughout the company. In order to share customer feedback with the whole company, we also have an intranet all employees can access and see their comments (excluding their personal information).

Framework for Collection of Customer Feedback

Initiatives for Customer Satisfaction

Visualization and Improvement of Customer Satisfaction in au/UQ Sales Channels

In response to diversified customer needs, in June 2021, KDDI revised the content of the questionnaire survey to customers visiting its shop so that we can confirm if they are satisfied with the service at the shop. We developed a system that enables us to confirm the survey results on the following day of the survey at the earliest.
We will work hard to improve store-front customer satisfaction and customer experience in the au sales channels throughout Japan based on survey results.
This initiative is inviting more people to choose au and UQ.

Multilingual Support Initiatives

Services are available in multiple languages at au Style shops and au Shops.
Available languages: 13 in total
(English, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Spanish, French, Thai, Nepalese, Hindi, Russian and Indonesian)
