New Customer Experience Award and Workshops
Upskill your teams in essential customer service skills!
What is it about?
The Customer Experience Award is designed to help employees gain a better understanding of their role in customer service, and how they can exceed customer expectations within their workplace.
Trainees will learn skills in effective communication, team work and selling, and can apply these skills to their role in order to deliver a higher standard of support to their internal and external customers.
Who is it for?
The Award is suitable for anyone who communicates regularly with customers, or who has a customer-facing role in the Aviation, Tourism, Travel or Museum sector.
It is also valuable for non customer-facing staff, as it helps to raise their awareness of the responsibility that each person has within the workplace to deliver excellent support to all customers, including their internal colleagues.
As well as teaching new employees essential customer service skills, the Award is also an excellent opportunity to refresh the learning and increase the motivation of experienced employees.
