The University of North Texas System is dedicated to serving internal and external customers and has implemented Culture of Service training for its employees. As of Summer 2017, more than 460 UNTS employees have particpated in a 2-day training workshop designed to help equip our team with the tools necessary to better prepare for the needs of both internal and external clients.
Following Culture of Service Training, UNT System employees will be:
Comfortable with a client/customer-centric service approach encourages greater empathy and provides the opportunity to review and improve processes from the client perspective.
Better prepared to anticipate client needs and therefore deliver appropriate levels of service.
Adept at developing and retainin relationships within the organization and with internal and external clients.
Better prepared to address complaints and resolve conflicts with supported clients to recover and improve the service experience.

Participants will complete a two-day workshop, "Achieving Service Excellence," and work with employees to focus on customer service philosophies, trends and benefits. The pilot project will provide a baseline for extending the culture of service to all campuses and departments.

Shared services began operations at the System in 2011. Many university systems are adopting shared services models to streamline operations and processes so that maximum resources can be directed toward academic areas.
The Culture of Service project has been endorsed by Chancellor Jackson and is sponsored by Vice Chancellor of Finance Janet Waldron. Human Resources is managing the pilot in conjunction with Ouellette and Associates consultants and a Culture of Service leadership team representing all system locations.
