A Word From Roger

 

Roger May 2010WHR has always been proud of our customer service scores and we consistently achieve rankings in the upper 90th percentile.  Which begs the question is this enough?  is it possible to achieve higher rankings when you provide services during one of the most stressful times in someone's life?  Is it even possible to achieve 100% service satisfaction? 

 

Not every employee desires a transfer, wants to leave their  community, sell a cherished home or embark upon a foreign assignment.  How is it possible to achieve consistency in service?  While a person may not give a 100% ranking due to the circumstance can we still achieve an outcome where WHR provided a meaningful and memorable customer service experience?  In other words can we still score 100% under any scenario?

 

I don't have all the answers, so we partnered with an organization that excels at training people on providing outstanding customer interactions.  I always tell our clients that we can train anyone on the mechanics of a relocation transaction, but I can't teach people to be caring and nice.  I believe in hiring people that have "empathy" as a character trait.  These are people that already have a conviction in helping people and can benefit from the training this organization provided. 

 

We made a significant investment in this training and it will continue into the future.  We have engaged this firm for the long haul, and we anticipate even greater customer relationships based upon what we have already learned.  Is 100% customer service possible?   I don't have the answer yet, but I'll keep you updated as we progress through out the year. 

 

Please let me know if you would like to gain a further understanding of WHR and the services we provide.

Transferees Speak  

  

"My Counseling team has been amazing to work with. They knew from the beginning I needed to find a house quick and helped push through everything I needed to do it. I was helped through a really tough moment recently where I literally sat on the phone and cried because I was so frustrated with the way the relocation was going. I couldn't ask for two better people to be helping me through this process."
