This week was National Customer Service Week, an opportunity to celebrate the employees that work tirelessly every day to deliver a great service experience to our credit unions and their members.
The theme this year, “Every Experience Counts,” is a phrase that resonates throughout the CO-OP organization. We are proud to have a team that embraces the importance of good service at every level and that embodies our four core values:
- Work as partners
- Demonstrate excellence
- Communicate openly and honestly
- Champion change
This week, we asked our employees to recognize their colleagues throughout the organization that have demonstrated one or more these values in their work.
We received dozens of submissions, but here were a few of our favorites:
Gigi Burkett
Supervisor – Des Moines, IA
Recognized by Karen Sandoval for: Championing Change
“Whenever someone comes over with an issue, Gigi stops what she’s doing to assist us and make sure our concerns are addressed. She is always pushing us to better ourselves.”
Nat Chomcherngpat
Marketing Programs Manager – Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Recognized by Edna Barron for: Demonstrating Excellence
“Nat is amazing to work with, she is always happy to help and her in-depth knowledge of the latest and greatest product updates is invaluable. A big thank you to her for providing us the tools needed to better serve our clients.”
