HEART Champions - May 2023
Our Communicate with H.E.A.R.T. Customer Experience Program keeps us aligned to being the caring, concerned, responsive school district we continually strive to be. Every single one of our customers' experiences matters -- whether it is colleague to colleague, via email, telephone, virtually or with those who walk through our doors.
That is why CMSD continues to invest in Communicate with H.E.A.R.T., a proven customer experience model whose components include upfront customer service delivery (Smile and greet warmly, Tell your name, role and what to expect, Active listening and assistance, Rapport and relationship building, and Thank the person) and a service recovery model for responding to a concern (Hear, Empathize, Apologize, Respond, Thank).
We are excited to announce today a total of 20 employees nominated by YOU are being recognized as HEART CHAMPIONS. Please join in saluting these CMSD Educators, selected for their exceptional customer service delivery interactions, as our newest class of HEART Champions.
As always, thank you CMSD, for taking the time to nominate a fellow Educator, and for being attuned to our customer experience goals and creating memorable experiences!
