What's the difference between internal and external customer service?

In your opinion, what’s the difference between internal and external customer service?  Here is how I differentiate the two, but I’d love to know if you see it differently.  Please let me know if I’m way off the mark here, and if so, how! Thanks--Micah • On the one hand, internal and external customer service are the same at their heart.  One of my favorite comments on this matter is from Lisa Holladay, who formerly helmed the iconic Ritz-Carlton hotel brand: “The wow stories we’re so famous for delivering for our [external] customers? We also have wow stories that happen for other Ladies and Gentlemen [employees]. We’re not famous for these because they’re internal, but I hear many times that ‘the reason I stay with the brand (as an employee) is the way that other Ladies and Gentlemen help me. When my wife was coming through surgery, my friends stocked my fridge and helped me with the driving; my work colleagues are some of the most hospitable people in my personal life as well.’• How

why its more important than ever to look after your people

We talk about ‘employee well being’, ‘job satisfaction’ ‘happiness’ etc as if these were new models or standards sometimes - another box to tick. But of course looking after our people has never been more important - particularly after the last 18 months of course, although this has simply helped to focus on the issue. Its vital that we are good and sustainable employers, who take out employees physical and mental health seriously and act upon that. Its a good thing to do and it makes good business sense too, as engaged and fulfilled workers are known to deliver high(er) standards of work than those who are poorly treated. A sustainable work environment means that people like working there and want to stay, rather than people constantly leaving and causing high levels of attrition, higher cost of hiring etc. What stories do you have to support this? - or do you disagree..?

Why is Emotional Wellbeing of your staff important?

According to the ‘ITSM 2021 & Beyond’ report by Freshworks and the Service Desk Institute (SDI), almost half of the IT professionals surveyed felt that COVID-19 damaged their emotional well-being. Around 60% of IT professionals felt their work life was responsible for making their emotional wellbeing worse.People are an organisation’s greatest asset. They are also the key to an organisation’s productivity, profitability and reputation. Neglecting the well-being of employees will adversely affect the whole business.There are ways to improve employee experience (EX) and prevent workplace stress related burnout, low morale, mental and physical illness. It’s worth noting that reducing the impact of these issues could have a significant impact on productivity, churn and ultimately the bottom line. It can also increase the desirability of the business as an employer of choice and so give the business access to a better quality pool of potential employees.What are some steps taken by your

How do you get disparate teams to work together successfully?

We all face challenges across organisations, as various teams often have different priorities and ways of working to each other. Yet the need from the organisation’s perspective is a smooth flow of work across teams, in order to achieve desired results. Sometimes the individual teams may not appreciate these overall goals, or see their own priorities as more important. So we need to ensure that all teams and individuals understand the overall requirements and are then working to meet these collectively - this goes across eg. Service Desks and techn9ical support teams, project and operations teams, Devops and ITSM/ITOM teams. What do you think - what’s your experience of getting this to work? How can we improve collaboration and shared goals..?
