Who Should Own the Digital Experience?
1 July 2014What Has Been Your Best Digital Experience?
19 August 2014Friday 4th July at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow, the scene was set for the 5th annual Customer Service Training Awards, open to Customer Service Trainers all over the world.
Douglas Jackson were once again proud to sponsor, exhibit and judge at this prestigious event.
The event was hosted by Julie Peasgood, a long standing supporter of the event and friend of Chair of the Judges; Don Hales. The event was supporting the Children’s Charity Barnardo’s.
The event had a total of 20 finalist categories, a full list can be found here.
There was a good mix of familiar faces but also a good deal of new companies and individuals entered, some of which had more than one programme, or, initiative entered. It is great to see customer service training and trainers increasing their presence and achieving such results across varied industry sectors.
It is something we have said before, but the standard of entries gets higher each year. In part, this no doubt has something to do with the ever advancing nature of our customer contact channels, which has increased the demand on our trainers and training teams to deliver truly effective training, which engages the teams, enhances the customer experience and also delivers business ROI! When you consider some of the teams are just a handful of people, with thousands of staff in multi-site offices and across varying departments, or, campaigns, this is no small feat and makes the achievements of these individuals greater still.
