Customer-service seminar for St. Thomas employees Aug. 10

The Division of Business Affairs and the Leadership Academy will offer a daylong customer-service seminar for St. Thomas employees, "Take This Job and Love It: Serving Customers, Working Together and Keeping Your Balance," from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, in Room 100, McNeely Hall.

The seminar will focus on teamwork for customer service and achieving balance in life. When customer service is exceptional in an organization, it's likely that motivation, cooperation and morale are strong, too. Learn simple, practical and powerful tools for achieving "magical" service and a positive work environment. Expect a hands-on, involvement-oriented session and tools you can use on the job as well as every other part of your life.
