If you have read any books on complaints handling you will at some point have heard about the need to establish empathy with the customer. Some corporate procedures encourage this too. Most writers on the subject focus on the need to approach the customer who is complaining with empathy.What is empathy?It is a word often used but is it understood? We find that on our complaints training courses when we ask this question that the answer is not always straightforward.

This is different to sympathy which is more about feelings of pity, compassion or sorrow for the distress of another. We need to avoid sympathy in complaints handling. It sounds good in principle to sympathize but what this does is to encourage the customer to wallow in the complaint. Instead we should show empathy to show understanding. This means we identify with the needs of the customer. How do you do that?
