Course Code/ID: CRS-N-0050295
According to a new study co-authored by a team of professors at Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business, the practice of mindfulness makes customer service employees more adaptable, flexible and creative at the workplace.
Mindfulness is a practice of focusing on the present moment for an individual in a non-judgmental way and being aware of multiple perspectives. Combine this with an understanding of customer service fundamentals, and the results you will experience at work will include increased productivity levels and customer satisfaction.

- differentiate between basic and exceptional customer service
