Simply put, our service ethos is best described as...
Bringing service to life...
We are committed to building lasting relationships or partnerships with our customers and suppliers and this requires active SERVICE DELIVERY on our part to meet customer or supplier product and service needs. So bringing service to life... has everything to do with
how we deliver our services.
By being attentive to customer needs and their requirements we aim to find and deliver practical solutions that are most appropriate in a consistent manner.
So what service behaviours underpin our Service Ethos?The C.A.R.E.S. acronym helps to explain it.
Communication:
Communicating with customers in a courteous and professional manner for clear understanding of customer and supplier needs so as to better manage expectations and delivery requirements.
Accountability:
Being accountable or taking ownership for getting an answer, resolving a problem or finding the right solution from start to finish.
Responsiveness:
Being responsive is about having a sense of urgency to react with speed and efficiency to deliver on customer needs, requests or service opportunities.
Empathy:
Empathy is about listening for and understanding the customer’s real situation and needs and then demonstrating how we care by being supportive to help improve upon it.
Solutions:
Solutioning is about finding the customer’s preferred solution or to seek out likely alternatives when this can’t be achieved. A sustainable solution must always meet the needs of our company AND the customer/supplier.
