INTERNAL CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSESSMENT
How well are you meeting the challenges of providing service within your organization? Because internal service providers have a bond with their customers that external vendors simply do not share, they need to judge their behaviour by a new standard.
Unlike any other assessment on the market today, the Internal Customer Service Assessment illustrates the real differences between internal and external service. This 30-item assessment is designed to help internal service providers evaluate how well they are practicing the behaviours that constitute excellent internal service — and then assists them through action planning to improve those behaviours.
Learning Outcomes
- Evaluate how an individual meets the challenges of providing service within the organization
- Learn which behaviours are effective in improving internal service
- Develop more effective service behaviours
Theory
The Internal Customer Service Assessment is based on relevant internal service literature and consulting experience. At the centre of the assessment, the Internal Customer Service Model combines both aspects of the internal service provider’s job. The Model illustrates the dual focus on what is happening both inside and outside the organization.
How It Works
The assessment presents 30 statements about customer service. Individuals transfer their assessment scores to a chart, creating an Internal Customer Service Profile. This visual profile depicts strengths and areas of improvement in each of the 6 dimensions of internal service. The Participant Guides provide for both individual and group action planning and discussion.
