As a Life Coach, CHRO, and CEO, I've learned that success isn't just about what we do—it's about who we do it for and how we choose to do it. Maya Angelou famously said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This Customer Service Week, I'm reflecting on the power of authentic service and appreciation. Building a thriving business is more about nurturing relationships than delivering services. How is your customer service? You know, that place in between the delivering. In today's hyper-connected world, we can take an opportunity to reflect on the acknowledgment of and feedback from our stakeholders - be it our workforce talent, clients, customers, or business partners, can be the compass guiding your company's stellar evolution. Here's what's helped me navigate the journey of customer service: ! Recognizing that everyone is interacting and every interaction is an opportunity for growth ! Understanding the profound impact of positive reviews (did you know businesses with positive reviews earn 31% more revenue?) ! Creating a culture of appreciation within our team ! Actively seeking and valuing client feedback ! Remembering that customer success is a collaborative effort In our latest blog post, we explore the importance of customer appreciation and share some statistics about small businesses and customer feedback.

Can you train your way to a customer service culture? 🤔 No! And YES! 🤯 Great training is absolutely essential to a robust customer service culture. It equips teams with the knowledge and skills needed to do their jobs well and meet customer expectations. But great training is just the start. 💡 🔄 Processes matter. Streamlined processes ensure consistency and efficiency, allowing our teams to deliver exceptional service seamlessly. 📏 Measurement is key. By measuring the right things, we can track performance, identify areas for improvement, and (most importantly) celebrate successes. 🎯 Expectations are essential. Clear expectations set the standard for service excellence. They must be communicated and understood at all levels of the organization. And (most importantly), people must be held accountable to those standards - not just by managers, by one another. We’re going to explore what it takes to deliver exceptional customer service from one of the best on this week’s #ITK. Timo Anderson from ZingTrain will share how Zingerman's built a community rooted in a culture of service that elevates the customer AND employee experience. 👍 Tune in on Wednesday, May 15 at 1130am ET for a deep dive into customer service! 📺 More details: https://lnkd.in/eCW7Cadt #InTheKnow #EX #CustomerService #Training #Learning #HR #LinkedInLive

Behind Every Happy Customer is a Supported Team This week, we’re celebrating the unsung heroes of every business: the customer service teams. 💡 They’re the ones who take the calls, handle complaints, and turn difficult situations into positive outcomes. But the truth is, customer service isn’t just about resolving issues—it’s about the people behind the scenes who make it happen. As someone in HR, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to support these teams, not just with tools and training, but on a human level. Here’s how we can help them thrive: 1. Start with a Warm Welcome: A thoughtful onboarding experience makes all the difference. It’s not just about job training—it’s about making them feel like they’re part of something bigger, that they’re valued from the moment they step in. 2. Build a Positive Culture: Let’s be real—customer service can be tough. Creating an environment where people feel supported and encouraged can help them stay resilient when the pressure is on. 3. Provide Real Resources: No one can do their best work without the right tools. Whether it’s updated technology or just having a clear process, we need to make sure they’re set up for success. 4. Listen to Them: The best way to support someone is to listen. Regular feedback isn’t just about improving performance—it’s about making sure they feel heard and cared for. Customer service teams deserve more than just a pat on the back—they deserve a workplace that lifts them up and helps them succeed. Let’s keep showing up for the people who show up for our customers every single day. #CustomerServiceWeek #HR #SupportYourTeam #TeamCulture #ListeningMatters #EmployeeWellbeing

Midweek Insights: The Heart of Customer Service in HR 🛃 In every industry, every profession, customer service is essential. For us in HR, it goes beyond meeting immediate needs; it’s about empowering employees to take ownership, guiding them with empathy, and building trust every day. Each day offers a chance to improve, and over time, I’ve learned a few lessons that keep shaping my approach: - Listen more, talk less: Real understanding starts with listening. - Stay calm, don’t react: Calmness can transform tough conversations. - Empathize, don’t antagonize: Recognizing emotions builds trust. - Avoid the blame game: Accountability is the foundation of progress. - Anticipate, don’t wait: Proactive support prevents escalations. Good customer service doesn’t mean the customer is always right—it’s about aligning their goals with the company’s in a way that benefits everyone. Every day is an opportunity to grow in this role and redefine what customer service means. But here’s the question: How can we ensure we are providing a positive experience for our customers while adapting to their dynamic needs and evolving expectations? #CustomerService #HRInsights #ContinuousLearning #Empathy #Leadership #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment

Why is calculating turnover important? - Identifies problem areas: Pinpointing departments or teams with high turnover helps identify root causes. - Measures retention efforts: Tracking turnover allows you to assess the effectiveness of your employee retention strategies. - Predicts future staffing needs: Accurate turnover data aids in workforce planning. What is a normal turnover rate? The "normal" turnover rate varies by industry and location. However, a generally accepted benchmark is a turnover rate below 30% ~ 45% How to reduce customer service agent turnover: - Invest in employee development: Offer opportunities for growth and advancement. - Create a positive work environment: Foster a supportive and inclusive culture. - Provide competitive compensation and benefits: Ensure your offerings are attractive. - Implement effective onboarding: Help new hires feel welcomed and supported. - Recognize and reward top performers: Show appreciation for outstanding work. #customerservice #turnover #employeeretention #humanresources #business #leadership

As we observe Customer Service Week, I've taken a moment to reflect on the invaluable insights I've gained from our HR department about the essence of customer service. In HR, our "customers" aren't just the external clients or consumers. They encompass every employee within the organization—from new hires to seasoned veterans. These individuals are the heartbeat of our company, and their experiences, satisfaction, and growth are paramount. 🔑 Why are they important? Empowerment and Engagement: HR plays a pivotal role in fostering an environment where employees feel valued and heard. Engaged employees lead to higher productivity and lower turnover rates, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction. Support and Development: Just as we prioritize our clients, we must invest in our team members through training, mentorship, and career development opportunities. When employees thrive, they are more equipped to provide exceptional service to our clients. Culture and Connection: A strong organizational culture that prioritizes respect and collaboration creates a sense of belonging. This connection enhances teamwork and translates to a better service experience for our clients. As we celebrate Customer Service Week, let's remember that our internal customers are just as vital to our success. By prioritizing their needs, we not only build a stronger workforce but also enhance the service we provide to our clients. Here’s to a week of recognizing the impact of exceptional service—internally and externally! 💼✨ #CustomerServiceWeek #HR #EmployeeEngagement #AboveandBeyond 2/2
