  • Kermit has a lot of questions and concerns about AI. 🐸 AI can feel a little… impersonal. Especially in support. But good AI shouldn't replace your human team — it should empower them to respond faster, stay focused, and keep the human moments human. If you’re wondering how to bring AI into your support workflow without sounding like a robot, this one’s for you. Swipe the carousel to see how AI can help your team do their best work — and head to the full blog to dive deeper: 👇 https://lnkd.in/gUXN6vrb #customersupport #customerservice #customer #cteam #ai #human

    We spend the majority of our lives at work. (I know…🥲) Why wouldn’t we make it enjoyable? At Help Scout, we talk a lot about delight... not just in how we treat customers, but in how we show up for each other every day. Yes, we care about benefits, career growth, and flexible work. But we’ve also learned that the little things matter just as much in building a workplace people genuinely enjoy. It looks like: ✨ Making sure people have a clear career progression and raises that reflect their value and contributions. ✨ A #trash-tv Slack channel where debates about Love Island get as heated as our product discussions. ✨ Moments of encouragement in DMs when someone’s having a hard week. ✨ Inside jokes, emoji reactions, and traditions that remind us: work can be fun. ✨ Encouraging people to bring their whole selves, quirks, passions, and all to the conversation. Because the truth is: we spend a huge portion of our lives at work. Shouldn’t we make it a place where people feel not just respected, but connected? Not just heard, but energized? Creating a culture of delight doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built in the big ways and the tiny ones. And it’s worth every GIF. #peopleops #leadership #remotework #companyculture #employeeexperience 

  • Not every experiment requires a lab coat. 🥼 In customer support, we make decisions every day based on what we think works — faster response times, more chat staffing, AI tools, and certain writing habits. But how often do we stop and test those assumptions? Small, low-risk experiments can help you: 🧪 Validate what’s working 🧪 Let go of what’s not 🧪 Find unexpected opportunities to improve Change is inevitable. Experiments help you shape it, not just react to it. Help Scout is built for curious support teams. #customersupport #cx #leadership #customerexperience #continuousimprovement #helpscout #delightlabs

  • The best job hunting advice? Don’t let AI do the talking for you. 🤖 In a sea of AI-generated cover letters and LinkedIn messages, the thing that sets you apart is simple: you showing up as yourself. Yes— use AI to help. It can organize your thoughts, clean up your writing, and even make suggestions. But the real connection comes from your personality, your curiosity, and your human voice. ✨ People hire people. Not prompts. Not ChatGPT. Not templates. Show up as yourself. It increases your chances, it opens better conversations, and it reminds hiring managers there’s a real person behind the screen. Because truth is, no one can do you what you do, not even AI. 😉 Read more on finding the right balance: https://bit.ly/3TEfCL1 #careergrowth #jobsearch #ai #peoplefirst #hiring

  • Boston, you were a delight. 🧪 Our team took to the streets for a scavenger hunt to find our Delight Labs billboards out in the wild—including a massive one right outside Fenway Park. Seeing the campaign in person was a reminder of why we built it in the first place: to bring our values to life in a way that feels human, creative, and unmistakably us. Delight doesn’t have to be loud or over the top, it just has to be real. And seeing this campaign out in the wild is as real as it gets! Delight > deflection always. 💙 #DelightLabs #customersupport #customerexperience #delight #teambuilding #culture #onsite

    When was the last time you did something for the first time? I’d never done an out-of-home campaign and neither had Help Scout until now. Most firsts are worth celebrating and that’s exactly what we did! Our Boston-based teammates, co-founders, and a few senior leaders spent the day together seeing our ads IRL. We had a blast and it was an awesome way to celebrate the launch of the campaign!

  • Meet Yee-Haw Tuna: a cowboy riding a piece of nigiri into the frontier of customer delight. 🐟🍣 He’s got raw energy. Unbridled charm. And a laser focus on one thing: delivering experiences so delightful, they make you do a double take. At Help Scout, we believe customer support shouldn’t be dry, robotic, or forgettable. It should be delightful, human, and sometimes—just sometimes—slightly unhinged. Because when your team leads with empathy (and maybe a cowboy hat), your customers feel it.
