TDC’s Year of Customer Service is in full swing and our onsite teams are taking it very seriously! This value has become a front-and-center focus and genuine concern for our customers’ well-being and satisfaction is a refined skill for our onsite allstars. Below
The Proof is in the Pudding
Rule #3: Engage Employees’ the Hearts and Minds
Remember to send all of your customer service IDEAS to [email protected]
you will find real life customer service testimonies within the past quarter. Thank you for all of the small and large measures you have taken to raise the temperature our culture that extra degree.
Your work does not go unnoticed.
Let’s take a moment to highlight the importance of capturing the hearts and minds of our teams. It is important to understand where we have come from and where we are going. TDC exists to create the best places to live (you may have noticed the our newsletter ’s new tagline reminds us of this). This quarter let’s focus on why we come to work everyday - to create a home for our residents where memories are made and milestones are reached. We are honored to be a key player in such an important part of so many lives - let’s remind each other of this when the focus becomes unclear. Later this month our TDC Core Values will be revealed in an continued effort to engage our hearts and minds and center our focus on what is truly important.
