Great service is ROOTED in culture
![Page 4: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Culture is demonstrated at every level of the organization
![Page 5: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In a strong culture with consistent values for everyone, people are motivated to operate in a way that supports the status quo and it applies to everyone, no matter what the position. By approaching service in this way, people develop a stronger investment in the organization because they personally experience great service and know how it feels.
Consistent values motivate employees

Service Is the Foundational Value
![Page 7: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In a service culture there is clarity about the core values of the organization, its mission, and the expectations. People are taught what service looks like from their first day of work. It’s one thing to say ‘we provide great service. It’s another to define behaviorally for employees what that looks like.
Clarity of mission, values and behavioral expectations
![Page 8: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A service culture has to begin at the very top, because that’s where people look when things begin to fall apart. Leaders must be strongly committed and willing to actively and publicly live this commitment.
Managers Must Live the Commitment
![Page 9: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Training and Feedback are the Framework for Success
![Page 10: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A strong service culture has to include providing feedback – both positive and critical – as a way of supporting and creating success. This means encouraging people to be creative about ways to strengthen and improve the culture. Constant evaluation keeps things fresh.
Feedback is a gift
![Page 11: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Invite feedback through surveys and suggestion boxes. Form focus groups that consist of a cross-section of
members. Make follow-up calls to find out about people’s
experiences. Be responsive to complaints and suggestions – the
more personal the better Remain curious at all times. Listen closely to what people are saying and also what
they aren’t saying. Track the number of services people are and are NOT
using.
Provide as many delivery channels as possible for feedback
![Page 12: Presented at the Small College Enrollment Conference 2013 Kathy Baugher, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Trevecca Nazarene University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5518cdd1550346b31f8b5b49/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

6.Keep talking about service. Especially if turnover is high, it’s crucial to keep the conversation alive. Don’t assume people will just naturally pick up on your service culture. Articulate your service expectations from the beginning. Encourage people to share what they are learning about service, so that you can keep your approach fresh and stimulating.

8. Management must make the measurement of service quality and feedback from the customer a basic part of everyone's work experience. This information must be available and understood by everyone, no matter what their level. The entire organization must become obsessed with what the customer wants.
