10. Southwest Airlines & Customer Service
Used SW air as model for good customer service and carried over flight theme through the year.
Employees had to “Check In” online to RSVP.
First everyone was “Wanded” in security.
Then everyone checked in outside class and received their Boarding Pass with seating group on it and Passport.
The Boarding passes had our Promises on them as well (ex, communicate)
Classroom set up like inside of plane with Seating Groups A, B, C, narrow aisles, O2 masks, rope lights for aisles, aviation music.
While getting seated flight attendants served juice, coffee, tea, and peanuts.

11. Complete with Flight Attendants
We had flight attendants that passed training…and those who did not... Giving safety talk.
Remember, flights are Non-smoking! Even for Leanna.

Every seat had a flight safety card, on back 8 “promises” we wanted all employees to adhere to take customer service to next level.
To begin mtg, announcement over microphone that we reached cruising altitude and bfast was served. While everyone eating bfast we presented our 2013 kickoff theme.
After b-fast, gave them break to get into individual groups (aka Flight Crews.)
Objective of each flight crew was to focus on a customer service process for each month (we called Flight Plan).
We carried our theme through whole year.
Monthly destination Meetings consisted of 3 parts.
1. Customer Service Presentation: Each group assigned a month to lead a cust service themed presentation. You can see these on the slide.
Monthly Destination Meetings

13. Posting Critical Numbers
Second part of meeting was Critical Numbers Update.
We used Blue Angels Delta formation and tied this to our 6 critical numbers.
During meeting we reviewed the #s, and posted in Employee Lounge

14. Monthly Customer Service Recognition
3. During month employees were asked to put in nominations of outstanding customer service acts they witnessed. The day before each Destination Meeting the kickoff committee met and reviewed every nomination and chose the top 3. The descriptions placed on central bulletin board in copy room for all to see.
At Destination Mtg, employees recognized which was great reminder to everyone how to go above and beyond. Winners received Jean Day Stickers or Gift Cards.
They also had their passport stamped indicating they were submitted into a drawing.
end of year, a drawing done for grand prize. The more slips you had in, the more chances you had to win.
Grand Prize = SW ticket since SW is known for customer service.
We had a ton of employees who were seen giving great service. Truly helped us refocus on seeing the students as our customers. I think it was beneficial for all of us. The attitude has stuck and carried over into 2014 even though it is no longer out theme.
