Equip staff with the skills and tools to manage challenging customer interactions and deliver quality service

As organisations become more service-centric and customer oriented, the need for staff in all roles to be able to execute quality customer service becomes paramount. This workshop focuses on building capability to manage difficult customers, de-escalation techniques, risk identification and management practices when working in challenging or hostile customer service situations.

  • WORKSHOP CONTENT

The workshop is structured to introduce participants to the key concepts of communication, behaviours and expectations before building into practical demonstration sessions. These focused, practical sessions explore both verbal and non-verbal communications, anticipating typical problems, and how to manage and reduce stress in the workplace. Throughout the workshop, the emphasis is on personal safety and equitable treatment, with skills practise scenarios to increase confidence and preparedness to manage customers and clients in crisis.

  • LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Define good customer service
