Even though our Spirit Team hasn’t leaked any details about next week’s Customer Service Week   events, employees at Baudville are getting excited! 

For our company, Customer Service Week is a celebration of ALL employees’ contributions to the customer experience. We understand that just because you don’t speak to a customer doesn’t mean you don’t influence their impression of Baudville. Marketing, packing, purchasing, accounting – all the departments at Baudville play important roles making sure customers find and get the right products. 

Thanks for joining me today for our latest episode of Recognition TV! Today I shared five theme ideas and coordinating activities that you can use for Customer Service Week, plus several low and no-cost ideas. Customer Service Week is coming up October 3-7, so now is the time to begin your planning! You can watch the recorded version of my webisode and many more in our Recognition Resource Center. 

I focused on themes for Customer Service Week because that is always the first place we start with our event planning. The theme sets the tone for the entire event and serves as the guideline for your decision making. However, coming up with a creative theme can be the hardest part, so I’ve compiled five of my favorite ideas for this year. 

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to a new blog and an exciting collection of blogs all related to people management and human resources! 

First, we have partnered with Jennifer V. Miller, a leadership coach and trainer in our own backyard, to provide her blog readers with information and tips on employee recognition. We’ve created a three part series for Jennifer, and today the first post, “Employee Recognition: Why the Lighter Side of Business has Serious Results,” was released. Visit The People Equation Blog to read the entire post, and stay tuned for the next two posts! 

At Baudville, we believe every member of our team contributes to our customers’ positive experience with the company. Whether it’s in Customer Service, Distribution, Purchasing, Marketing, or any other department, we all strive to perform for our customers every day. 

So when Customer Service Week rolls around, the entire company joins in the festivities! (This year Customer Service Week is October 3-7!) A team of employees, our Spirit Team, plans a week of activities to celebrate our dedication to excellent customer service. Everyone partakes in games, themed dress up days, and a team lunch. Employees are typically treated to a gift, too, and our Twist Top Tumblers have become a staff favorite! 

August is here which means kids will be heading back to school very shortly! Start the year off right by welcoming back teachers, students, and staff with a small gift and welcome celebration. We’ve compiled our top ten choices for back to school gifts to make your planning easier!
