Food services & bookstore have a tendency to provide poor service
Silos and tunnel vision within departments
HR process is too lengthy
Policies – dual and outside employment, expenditure
Pay wages
The lack of parking; having to pay for parking
We say “Yes” too much and then take on too much; work overload
Incorrect information being passes on to external customers
We don’t have a spot on campus to take the CCU picture
Opportunities

•
•
Refresher courses with Feel the Teal after the first eight modules are complete
Expand Feel the Teal to students (especially #1, #3, #4)
Gain a more heightened Feel the Teal presence in community
Communication opportunity- when decisions/changes/updates are made,
communication could be improved by including the “why”
• Conduct exit interviews with students/employees leaving to gain a service
perspective
• Better communication from the top down
Threats
• State funding is reduced
• Lack of full-time staff and slotted positions
• The continued misperceptions about Feel the Teal Service Excellence (i.e., it is
just about students)
• Increased competition from other universities who focus on academic service
• Eileen Soisson leaves for whatever reason
• Feel the Teal loses its momentum
