Day 1006 - Day 276
Welcome to Customer Service Week across America, and at United Healthcare. We are a pretty fun site so we have a week of festivities, basically thanking the agents for the job that they do. Our theme this year is Las Vegas, which is a second home for me!
Customer Service is not easy. People think that all we do is talk on the phone all day, so how hard could it be, right? Far from it. People think that we can just change things… people that that us in leadership can just make changes, and when we try to explain that we simply cannot change certain things- we’re suddenly liars and uncaring people. That is far from the truth. In the retail customer service world, there is a lot that can be waived. In the Insurance industry, well… that is so very far from the truth.
I think I have a great team. I am proud of them (even when they make funny faces in the back ground). I am very proud of my company and what we do. This week is dedicated to all of you out there who have worked in a call center, been screamed at for the simple fact that you are trying to help, and for the people who feel they are only a metric or a number. At least for me, I try to NEVER treat my team that way!
