Standards of Service Exercise
In this very popular exercise, we act as facilitator to assist your staff in developing several standards of service for customers. For example, the staff may wish to devise a standard for answering all telephone calls in a timely manner; to ask customers if they wish to be placed on hold, etc.

Participants will develop from three to five ideas that will improve service or set a standard of service which can be implemented immediately at no or little cost.

This exercise can be very successful because the ideas for improvement come from your front-line staff--not you. As such, they maintain owership
