The local bus company is celebrating the national campaign with a series of activities throughout the week from 1-5 October.
National Customer Service Week is run by the Institute of Customer Service and aims to raise awareness of customer service and the vital role it plays in successful business practice and the growth of the UK economy.
Stagecoach East Scotland has opted to mark the week with events encompassing the theme of “Improving travel through a passion for every customer”. Employees will highlight the importance of continuing to deliver good customer service day in, day out for passengers.
During the week, activities the company will be organising are:
• A job swap between frontline staff
• Local Treat Teams will be surprising customers with giveaways
• A Tweet the Director session will be held on Friday 5 October where followers of @StagecoachEScot will get the chance to chance chat to the Managing Director
Stagecoach East Scotland Managing Director Paul Thomas said, "It’s vital that we deliver high quality, safe and reliable service for the many people who use our bus and coach services every day.
"We’re always looking at ways to provide better services for our passengers and have invested heavily in measures to improve the customer experience. We know how important it is to provide good customer service at all times, especially when things go wrong. I’m very proud that we have a fantastic team of staff who work hard every day to provide customers with a pleasant and enjoyable travel experience.
“This week is a great opportunity to showcase the commitment we have to customer service all year round and to hear from our customers how we can improve even further. I am very much looking forward to taking part in Tweet the Director too.”
