UL2003: Initiative Area I: Remove Barriers


Part 2: Internal Customers

Goal A: Successful Internal Customer Collaboration is the basis for external customer success.

Strategy 1: Workplace

Assess effectiveness of the new library personnel initiatives (e.g., workshops, handbooks, discussion groups, evaluation tools) and establish benchmarks and outcome measures. Use surveys, focus groups, and other forms of feedback to monitor effectiveness.

Strategy 2: Continuous Improvement

Use feedback from Strategy 1 to continuously improve library personnel programs and service to internal customers.

Strategy 3: Staff Orientation

Working in collaboration with library departments, the LCSC, Personnel Development Committee, ASU Human Resources, and others, expand the current orientation program to provide a comprehensive orientation process for new and current employees. Evaluate effectiveness.

Strategy 4: Incorporate customer service

Incorporate customer service dimensions into recruitment, orientation and performance evaluation.

Strategy 5: Staff Safety and Security

Goal B: Surveys.

Continuing surveys of our customers, from the biennial library-wide Spring survey, to specialized focus groups or other smaller surveys are essential to keep track of our progress in strategic areas and to learn about new problems that affect customers. Survey data helps us see if we are on track and also points to actions that may make the greatest impact on our customers.
