It’s Customer Service Week!

Customer Service Week Tips

1) Decorate to build excitement! Flyers, banners, and balloons around the office can help boost the moods of your employees.

2) Have a little activity for each day that week. A fun ‘customer service’ themed crossword puzzle or word search for each person on the team is a small reminder of the celebration.

3) Make handwritten thank you cards or a short note for each team member.

4) Feed them! Catered lunch, morning bagels or a dessert really lets them know that they’re appreciated.

5) Create special awards that are personalized for each member on the team.

6) Go to Happy Hour! Extending the celebration past the work day is a good way for team members to bond in a different setting.

There are so many other ways to show your appreciation – be creative – any little sign of gratitude matters.
