Vodafone Tales is a programme that identifies those memorable customer service experiences, which help them to establish and maintain real differentiation in the market. It provides a platform for employees to write about some moments that exemplify the Vodafone way of doing things, moments of magic that delight their customers. The programme is run on "My world", their employee portal, where employees can write a tale about their colleagues' experience which has delighted a customer.
