6 simple ideas to help you present your employee Christmas gifts in a way that will reinforce the value each individual brings to your team and organization.

I have been lucky enough to be a part of three Customer Service Week celebrations at the 'ville.  I can tell you, they are always highly anticipated and definitely don’t disappoint! This year’s Customer Service Week was no different. A spirit committee was in charge of everything from planning the theme, and activities to carrying them out. Let me tell you, they really put the "zing" in amazing!

This week – October 6-10, 2014 – is Customer Service Week! We love celebrating everyone in our company during this time (as we believe that it takes the hard work off all of team members to create a great customer experience) and we usually have a little fun in the process!

This morning I walked in to some great signs all over the building honoring the occasion and hinting at what this week's theme would be all about – Keep Calm and Celebrate Customer Service Week. Each department was given a basket of light-hearted, fun goodies to break up the day (think whoopee cushions, candy, puzzles, and more) and keep us calm. One of our meeting rooms was turned into a relaxation room – filled with candles, dark chocolate, and a soothing waterfall projected onto the wall. I will definitely be utilizing that today!

What are you doing to celebrate your awesome team next week during Customer Service Week? If you follow us, you’ll know that here at Baudville, when we have a reason to celebrate – we will. So around here, everyone looks forward to Customer Service Week every year!  Last year we celebrated with casual days, food, games, and gifts.

Here are few ways to boost morale, motivation and teamwork during CSW!
