Meeting Icebreakers![]() Providing Exceptional Service in Government This important program illustrates how bureaucratic systems and procedures, however necessary to workflow, can get in the way of providing the level of service - and respect - the public requires. It's a valuable journey into attitudes and assumptions, a realistic look at the day-to-day public sector workplace that is full of customers anxious about the help they need and well-meaning CSRs hampered by inflexible rules. In addition to the vignettes that take place in office settings with actual service "windows," the scenario of our forlorn friend stuck on the side of the road with his stalled auto also demonstrates the need for good government customer service. When a County Works truck comes along, our "customer" thinks he's saved. But this government worker only lets our friend know he's blocking the road and should move immediately, without offering assistance. There's nothing quite so powerful as viewing circumstances from the other person's perspective. This is the true value of The Other Side of the Window: Providing Exceptional Service in Government. Program Contents: A 13 minute VHS or DVD including Meeting Opener, Closer and Discussion segments, Leader's Guide, 10 Reminder Cards
