2018 Year in Review – KMRD Partners Continues to Grow as a Premier Employer and Ranks High in Customer Satisfaction
As we close in on 2019, it’s that time of year again – and we are extremely proud of our 2018 results.
2018 was a momentum-building year for KMRD Partners. We enjoyed strong performance across all of our business practices, continued to invest in hiring exceptionally talented people, and worked hard to improve our customer satisfaction ranking for our clients. Our company is now larger and more global, the KMRD brand is much more recognized, and in 2018 we saw plenty of evidence our practice groups and service teams are doing a outstanding job delivering value for our clients. Overall, our employees did a great job in 2018 representing our core values. None of this success would have been possible without a world-class team that now stretches across three offices in the Philadelphia market, a top-tier community of partner companies we rely on, and of course, all of our clients – from the biggest to the smallest. Thank you everyone for making 2018 great!

Did we mention our 2018 client survey? We’re proud of the results.
In the fall of 2018, we commissioned a 3rd party survey and had it sent out to our clients to better understand and meet their needs – and find out how we are tracking in terms of providing real value. While the results didn’t surprise us, they might have surprised our competition!
Here are a few of the highlights
We earned an average 9.5 (out of 10) across all of our respondents who believe KMRD to be a trusted partner, with the right knowledge to handle requests, and able to quickly put you in touch with the right person when you need help.
KMRD earned an 9.5 Overall Satisfaction (OSAT) rate and a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 85.8. Additionally, 90.6% of you are what are called “promoters” who would be “extremely likely to recommend KMRD to a friend or colleague”.
Our results for both Overall Satisfaction and Net Promoter were higher than most, if not all, of our closest competitors. To put those above numbers into perspective, our competition (on average) earned 65.5 NPS with only 76.9% of their respondents considered to be “promoters”.
While the above figures are impressive, we believe there is still much room for improvement. Our goal for 2019 at KMRD is to work even harder to continue to earn our business and ensure exceptional experiences for every one of our clients each and every day.
