Customer Service
- What is good customer service?
- What are ODU's Strengths and Weaknesses as related to customer service?
- How do we get to good customer service in the context of the institution's mission, i.e. distance learning, military, etc?
- Everyone on campus should consider themselves as educators and everyone should consider ethics when dealing with students, parents, peers, etc.
- Who are our customers?
- FERPA should be considered in discussions about customer service.
- There should be on-going training (maybe required for performance evaluation) and scheduled customer service training for new employees.
- How do our current policies and procedures affect customer service? Are there policies and procedures that contradict good customer service?
- Are there policies and procedures that are contradictory to other area's policies and procedures?
- We should look at best practices in customer service such as JMU and CNU.
- Maybe there should be a university policy and procedure manual on providing good customer service.
- Maybe there should be an award system for good customer service.
- The policy should be that customers should be sent to no more than 1 step for resolution of a problem.
- Everyone is responsible for retaining students...and as Acting President Broderick said "People know the whole from the part they see."
