The second in PLA’s ‘Train the Trainer’ series, this kit contains everything needed to hold a one-day customer service training workshop at your library. Content focuses on creating effective customer service policies and norms in your library by defining the rights and responsibilities of both customers and staff members. By using this kit, trainers will learn how to describe the difference between security issues and public service issues, be able to explain the rights and responsibilities of staff and customers in a customer service interaction, define and illustrate assertive communications techniques, provide examples of effective and ineffective customer service interactions, facilitate general discussions and manage group interactions.
Included in the kit are a Trainer’s Manual (PDF file), Trainer’s Agenda (MS Word doc), PowerPoint presentation slides, script, handouts, and evaluation forms.
