The university depends on them… but if your front line service employees feel they are on the low end of the totem pole, your customers are going to feel that way, too. It is never too late to change that dynamic! Customer service is the responsibility of every team and department within the university, every working day. Therefore, what are your customers saying about you, your team and the university?
