Service Excellence Initiative

OUR GOAL: Be the best place to work, to practice, to receive care.

We have embarked on a three-year journey together to become the Provider of Choice and the Employer of Choice.

Service Excellence Council

The Service Excellence Council serves as the central “hub” of information for the entire initiative and where the Service Excellence Advisors and OASIS teams will report progress. It is composed of 60% leadership and 40% frontline staff. One of its initial responsibilities is to develop a Service Recovery Policy. This document outlines the protocols to address and amend service failures, aiming to reinstate customer satisfaction and loyalty. It includes identifying the problem, issuing an apology, offering a resolution or compensation, and implementing preventative measures.

OASIS Teams

OASIS (Organizationally Advanced Service Improvement System) teams will execute a single, organization-wide service improvement project. These teams include Referral and Onboarding, Retention, Keywords/Sentence Starters, Awards and Recognition, and Service Standards/Internal Support Services. They will meet at least once a month to advance their projects, which, at the year’s end, will be handed over to a designated person/department for ongoing management. Here are our OASIS team members.
