SMG to play lead employee experience role with new partner National Amusements, Inc.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – All Remote – Service Management Group (SMG), a global customer, employee and brand experience management partner to more than 500 brands, has announced a new partnership with National Amusements, Inc. (NAI). The privately owned movie theater operator selected SMG to help improve its employee retention and engagement program.

Based in Norwood, Mass., NAI owns and operates four movie theater brands—Showcase Cinemas, Showcase SuperLux, Cinema de Lux and Multiplex Cinemas. NAI selected SMG to support its Showcase Cinemas, which has 23 locations throughout the northeastern U.S.

After previously performing all employee experience (EX) work in-house, NAI turned to SMG because of its unique partnership model, consultation services, expertise with cinema brands as it relates to program design, and insights that can drive action to support NAI’s goals. The full EX program launched in March.

“We’ve known for a long time that prioritizing our own people isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s also the smartest way to do business,” said Michelle Norman, director of employee development & training for NAI. “Now, with help from SMG, we’ll be able to get more actionable insights so we can better equip them with the resources they need to perform at their best.”

SMG is managing NAI’s core engagement survey and pulse surveys to measure and benchmark employee engagement at strategic intervals. By partnering with SMG to understand the key drivers of the employee experience, NAI leaders will be in position to adjust and enhance organizational initiatives in ways that increase employee satisfaction and ultimately lead to longer tenures and growth within the company.
