"How can businesses ensure that employees are not only collecting customer feedback, but also effectively implementing and following up on it to continually enhance the customer experience?"

Training
Businesses can ensure that employees are effectively collecting and implementing customer feedback by providing training on how to gather and analyze feedback. They can also establish clear processes and systems for employees to follow when receiving feedback. Regularly reviewing feedback with employees and setting specific goals for improvement based on customer input can help ensure that feedback is being used to enhance the customer experience. Additionally, creating a culture that values customer feedback and encourages employees to take ownership of implementing changes can help drive continuous improvement in the customer experience.
