Tools for Tense Situations with Angry Customers
Competency:
Emergency Preparedness and Customer Service
Description:
In this 90-minute session, Steve will discuss what tools and skills we need to use as libraries continue to re-open their doors to provide skillful and dedicated service to patrons. He’ll provide tools to recognize and resolve conflicts with patrons, including the need for patience, empathy, and understanding other points of view without judgment. His learning points include these important topics:
- What are the service challenges we face as we return from a Work From Home status to back to working in and around our library buildings?
- What safety and security protocols do we need to follow, coming and going and while working in publicly-accessed buildings?
- How can library leaders, managers, and supervisors monitor the work culture for conflict, communication, and morale issues?
- How do we respectfully request that patrons and other library visitors (vendors, delivery, maintenance, janitorial providers) follow posted Covid-19 safety protocols?
- How do we agree to disagree and have patience and empathy for our patrons or co-workers who have strong feelings about national issues that differ from ours?
- How about a little personal and professional stress management?
- What does the future hold for library employees and what new ways can we provide service to patrons?
