Prepping for Customer Service Week
Customer Service Week is fast approaching! (October 3rd-7th) At Baudville, this celebration is not only important in our own office but we love being able to celebrate with our loyal customers also! “Customer and employee satisfaction should be seen as two sides of the same coin.”
No doubt you’ve already planned past week-long celebrations for your customer care team that includes daily activities and recognition for their dedication and hard work, but fresh ideas are always a good thing. See below for a bump of inspiration to keep the appreciation flowing! The following are some ways to get started in prepping for Customer Service Week 2022!
1.) Celebrate your employees first!: To start your preparation for what will inevitably be a busy week. Remind yourself that your staff are customers also. Start preparing now! Celebrate what has been going right with your team. Offer tokens of appreciation, delightful extras, and enjoyable experiences in the process of planning and executing the event. You do not want to leave your team feeling anything less than valued.

It is important leading up to customer service week to have a meeting with your staff and reinforce why your culture lives or dies on the strength of your customer service.

3.) Send out employee surveys: Employees need an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas. If your employees need more support in a particular area, surveys are a great way to find out.

Ultimately, Customer Service Week is also a time to reiterate to our customers just how important their satisfaction is to us. Throughout the year we spend countless hours training our team, empowering them with the information that they need to succeed, and studying how we can continually improve our customer experiences using key metrics. All of this hard work culminates to Customer Service Week, where we celebrate our success, and reflect on our progress.
