Customer Service All-Staff Skills Refresher

 "Customer Service All-Staff Skills Refresher: Library Interactions and the Moments of Truth"
Part of a special Library 2.0 series with Dr. Steve Albrecht 

OVERVIEW

A 60-minute training webinar presented by Library 2.0 and hosted by ALA author and library service, safety, and security expert, Dr. Steve Albrecht.

It’s time for a service skills refresher for all library employees. Every library organization is now dealing with budget cuts, staffing challenges, and more and different work than from 16 months ago. Patrons need and want good service, so how can we bring out our best work for them? This session helps all library employees understand critical service concepts like Moments of Truth, Service Blueprints, the Patron’s Customer Value Model, and Service Recovery. It features a discussion the Code of Quality Service, created by Dr. Karl Albrecht (yes, that’s Steve’s dad), which is a set of 10 behaviors that can help all library employees make their work easier, more fun, and more relevant to the service needs of the patrons.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how to make service excellence our daily goal.
  • Discuss how our internal service relationships are just as important as our external patron relationships.
