How do supervisors affect customer service? We all know that frontline service people directly impact customer satisfaction. But we don't often look at how much a supervisor's behavior influences the service a customer ultimately receives.
“So HELP Me” (Supervisor Edition) takes a fresh look at customer service by showing the direct connection between a supervisor's behavior and the way employees treat customers. When employees are listened to, respected, and encouraged, they will do the same for their customers. Supervisory behaviors that promote excellent service include: telling people what they're doing right, helping employees find solutions, focusing on people rather than numbers, empowering people to do their jobs, and turning mistakes into opportunities for growth.
