JUNE 2013 MORGAN STANLEY ISSUE 6 CSC Connection Keeping You Connected! Welcome to this month’s issue of the CSC connection! At Morgan Stanley, we are committed to bringing you up to date information about the accomplishments, news, departmental changes, and co-worker information. This newsletter is for you. We enjoy writing about the news & events within the CSC. June 2013 Inside This Issue 1 Keeping You Connected 2-4 Client Web Support 5-6 Compliments 7-8 Employee Spotlight 9-10 Service Insights CWS Team: Striving for Service Excellence 11 Birthdays & Anniversaries 12 Volunteerism, On a cool and brisk May morning, we had to opportunity to join Ryne Ely, the Line of Business manager of the Client Web Support team, for a few minutes to discuss his team and how things are progressing after the end of the first quarter of 2013. Though PWM conversion is a little over two weeks from now, Ryne came across as confidant and relaxed—as if to say that they were ready to go and “had left no stone unturned.” In our interview, we discussed PWM conversion, the vision for 2013, touched on goals/accomplishments, and defined what Business as Usual means to Ryne and his team. 15 PWM Conversion Ryne shared with us that PWM preparation is going well. The weekend of May 10th, the team experienced demographic conversion. This is where all client information came over, except for the monetary assets. Financial conversion or main conversion weekend is May 24th. The team has been focused on training. They are asked to challenge themselves, “How can we make it easy for a service professional that is not accustomed or does not have exposure to PWM clients today?” We want to stress that the support of Morgan Stanley online is staying the same. The only thing changing is the clients that we are supporting. Day At the Races, & Race for the Cure 13-14 Hat Contest Picture Collage Coming in June MORGAN STANLEY JUNE 2013 Striving for Excellence cont’d Our senior management team and key stakeholders (CSC Management Team) are comfortable with our current status— we’re in a good place right now.” CSC CONNECTION PAGE 2 CSC CONNECTION NEWSLETTER Ryne stated, “Our senior management team and key stakeholders (CSC Management Team) are comfortable with our current status—we’re in a good place right now.” The team has also partnered with PSC under Monica. Their primary goal is to have a more interactive relationship in regards to PWM. Though PSC is accustomed to working with high net worth FAs, Chairman’s Club, President’s Club, etc. the Client Web Support team can share their substantial experience with Client Link. It is important that both teams bridge the gap for conversion and post conversion support In between the demographic and financial conversion phase (May 10th through May 24th), the team is conducting a password reset project. They are resetting 2400 PWM passwords-this is for clients who do not have password information on Client Link. This program started today (May 13th) and will be communicated to the branch managers on Thursday, May 17th, of the temporary passwords to their clients. Even though PWM clients cannot log on until May 28th, the team would like to provide the field and PWAs an opportunity to communicate with their international clients or ask any questions in advance of conversion. In April, the team facilitated a PWM April Outreach campaign. They identified PWM clients who logged in regularly or were frequent users of Quicken, eDelivery, research pages etc. After reviewing the data, 120 PWM clients were identified as frequent users and their PWM teams were contacted. They discussed support of these clients post conversion and reviewed the support model. They leveraged team members: Kyle Petersen and Ali Farah who have been supporting Client Link. PSC is the primary support role post conversion. CWS Vision for 2013 Though PWM conversion has been a primary focus, the team is still driving for process improvement, they are conducting a full revamp of 3DR. Service Central is migrating to 3DR—all of those pages are being updated to ensure accuracy. Team member, Loren Suess based in Utah is leading the project. The team has gained agreement from Service Training and Communications to provide access to update pages themselves. This allows the team to streamline the process since there are thousands of pages that need to be reviewed/approved. Ryne mentioned, “The objective is to make it easier for our clients to navigate—we want the search process to make more sense.” June 2013 CSC Connection MORGAN STANLEY The team is also creating troubleshooting guides. Guides are available for most of the products such as Online Bill Pay, One View, trading, secure email, and eDelivery. They identify the top 5 call types and explain to service professionals how to support that call type from start to finish. The troubleshooting guides have been well received. The team is also attempting to centralize Web Support. They are establishing three teams in the same part of the building. The calls are then prioritized so that the primary volume is Morgan Stanley Online. This provides the representatives much needed repetition to become more efficient at taking those calls. The team also double-jacks with Service Professionals to help build the relationship and support structure. Lastly, the team is also developing a headline feed. In addition to CCBs, which can be delayed, they have developed a SharePoint with which to submit feedback and information. CWS owns the content that is stored on the site. The team is encouraging service professionals not only use the SharePoint, but visit frequently to familiarize themselves with the any trends or issues. This is in addition to CCB. They are piloting this program with level II web support professionals at this time. The team is hoping to launch to all of the level I population before May 28th. They will facilitate focus groups to attain their feedback. CWS is also revamping all of the training modules to ensure a more accurate time allocation to the training. They are focusing on the key takeaways that a Service Professional needs for each product that they will be supporting. The feedback from Service Professionals has been positive and they are asking for more scenarios. What is a typical Day? The team consists of 6 analysts, including Ryne Ely; they are often referred to a Level III. The overall responsibility of a CWS analyst is to support level I and level II representatives. They also support business and ASG (Application Support Group) inquiries. Their number one responsibility is to process all level I and II escalations through service portal. They also support two email boxes from the field/business, along with the PWM hotline. A typical day is 4-5 hours processing service portal inquiries, then working on assigned projects, answering emails from the business and field, and working through service portal tickets that were unresolved. PAGE 3 The team is also attempting to centralize Web Support. They are establishing three teams in the same part of the building. The calls are then prioritized so that the primary volume is Morgan Stanley Online. MORGAN STANLEY What is BAU? Business as usual would mean that communication lines are consistently open. Relationship building is the crux and foundation of the department. It’s not simply about facilitating an occasional focus group, but rather having the consistent contact and feedback with Level I and Level II Service Professionals. There should also be better “bottom up escalation.” The CWS team or CSC leadership should never receive a call or email from someone in applications support or the business side stating, “Is “Online Bill Pay down?” There needs to be better communication. Service Professionals should be confidant that if they identify an issue that they can escalate “bottom up.” The team should not be the last ones to hear about a problem if the proper lines of communication are in place. JUNE 2013 CSC CONNECTION PAGE 4 CSC CONNECTION NEWSLETTER Ali Farah, Jamie Severns, Ryne Ely, Loren Suess, Theo Denanyoh, and Kyle Petersen. Accomplishments/Goals Though, the team is just starting the second quarter, there are some accomplishments such as Real Time Feed. It is still in proof of concept, but has the potential to be a big accomplishment for the group. Another accomplishment is that Joel Hancock, one of the CWS team members is now working in New York City on a business team under Tom Duffy, MD, Banking Services. His dedication and effort is an example to all employees in the CSC who are looking for career pathing opportunities. The email confirmation process is another accomplishment. The team experienced an immediate decrease in call volume and average call handle time. The process was streamlined and unnecessary steps eliminated. Conclusion In closing, we asked Ryne to explain when he knows that he’s had a good day. He explained, “I try to get my folks to work smart—to be effective and efficient.” The team tries to take a direct approach in supporting Service Professionals. They try to identify those employees that need their help and in turn provide support directly. It is about relationship building. They don’t want to be that team that is invisible and purely works behind the scenes—they want to be leaders and have an interactive relationship with the teams, field, and business partners they support on a daily basis. June 2013 CSC Connection MORGAN STANLEY PAGE 5 Compliments & Recognition Client wanted to compliment Karen Hunt due to a very complicated issue that she resolved. Karen stuck with the client until the very end, the client stated that she was fabulous and was the only person who was able to resolve her issue. Thank you Karen for providing World Class Service. Our client asked to speak with me tonight regarding her call with Deborah Slaughter. Mrs. Estep stated she was nearly in tears when she called regarding some fees that had been charged to her account. Deborah was like an Angel for her, she was so patient and helpful. Deborah took the time to sort out the information she needed to put her at ease and feel much better about the situation. Mrs. Estep wanted to make sure Deborah received the recognition she deserved for her great service. Great Job Deborah! Keep it up! -Chris Stott I just heard a compliment for the Insurance team as a whole. Matthew Ramer from branch 474 called in and spoke to Michael Miller. Michael was very patient and knowledgeable throughout the call. At the end of the call, Matthew states “You guys are the only department with MS that are so uber patient… Bringing people to what they need to see and just kind of guiding them along…every other dept is annoyed when I call with questions like this…I just don’t do this very often. I really appreciate you kind of easing me through…click here, clear there…I don’t know what they put in your water. I really appreciate your patience with helping out guys like me get through this.” While Matthew speaks of the department as a whole, I believe it also shows what an asset Michael Miller is, as the compliment came about because of the way Michael handled the call. I just wanted to take a moment to pass along my thanks to Gina Tempest for her assistance this morning with what at first seemed to be a very strange Clientserv issue. I contacted Gina Tempest who quickly determined this was a GSPS account. She took the call from the CRO with the client on the line and resolved the issue in a matter of Jason did an outstanding job assisting us with system issues and answering questions regarding calls and whatever else was needed. One of our branch CROs called in with a client from Korea who stated that he placed a trade online while in Korea, and requested a check, which he still has not received. He was now requesting the check be delivered to one of our branch offices while he is here visiting the U.S. The client stated that he had no account number, and at first this issue was very puzzling. I contacted Gina Tempest who quickly determined this was a GSPS account. She took the call from the CRO with the client on the line and resolved the issue in a matter of minutes. Her handling of the matter was professional, and her manner conveyed that she was confident, knowledgeable and thorough. In addition, she was gracious and kind. Gina, as I am sure you already know, is the consummate professional. I was lucky to have had her assistance this morning. Best, Nancy Balmert I just wanted to let you know that Garn Chilcote went above and beyond today in dealing with one of our clients. This client was very irate and extremely hard to handle. And Garn handled it like a true professional. There isn’t many associates that could handle a call like this one and Garn did it with true grace. Not only did he deliver great service he kept the client from giving up and not enrolling online all together. I just thought I should pass this along and show our appreciation for Garn and his excellent service. Thank you, Jeanette L. Cox We had a Brazilian DTV stock plan participant call in today – he needed to speak to someone who spoke Spanish, and as luck would have it as I connected him to the call center Ricardo Oporto answered. Ricardo is fluent in Spanish, provided outstanding service, and helped me open a new account, to be funded with $989,000 of stock sale proceeds. I think it’s important for you guys to know when something like this happens as a result of an employee doing a great job. Thanks Cody & Joe for hiring great people. MORGAN STANLEY I had the pleasure to speak with Wendy McSwain (Viacom) who had nothing but great things to say about Travis Baldwin. She explained that she was worried that she had not received a 1099 from her RSU account. That Travis took about five minutes to figure out that the client would not receive a 1099DIV this year because of the conversion and the De Minimus rule. She stated that Travis was able to explain the situation to her so that she could understand. She is very thankful that Travis could figure that out because now she can proceed with filing her taxes. I just wanted to send you an email and tell you that I think Nick Tomaselli is amazing. He has been a real asset to Mona Marler and I with the survey information along with other requests. Not only was he efficient but with every change or request we made he went forward with a “Can Do” attitude. A lot of times our peer to peer interactions are not as wonderful as we would hope but he has set a standard that we all can look up to. Even though he is no longer on the phones he has represented himself as someone who honestly and sincerely is providing WORLD CLASS SERVICE!!! I know we have spoken a few times in the past regarding issues in our performance reports for The Bucci Group. I just got off the phone with Wes Hill, and prior to hanging up I had asked him for his managers name and he gave me your name. Too many times managers hear complaints and not enough praise and good comments. I just got off the phone with Wes, and he truly knows what he is talking about, he really is an asset to your team. He goes above and beyond for the question(s), and truly researches an answer and makes it easy to understand. I just spent the last 20 or so minutes on the phone with Wes and he answered every question and even offered other suggestions on how to get the information that I needed. He didn’t push me off on another department and he made sure before hanging up the phone that we were all set for our meetings tomorrow. I appreciated his attention to detail and his customer service he is very important to your team, and I hope there are more people in your department like Wes in the future. Warmest Regards, Natalie I asked Jessica for her boss’s email address so I could write you. I don’t remember the last time, if ever, I’ve written this kind of email. Being a legacy Smith Barney FA, the conversion and the support has been very challenging over the last several months. I was worried about the experience I would have trying to get my LinkedIn profile compliant and professional. JUNE 2013 CSC CONNECTION PAGE 6 CSC CONNECTION NEWSLETTER Jessica Jackson provided me with the best customer service experience I’ve had in a long time. She was knowledgeable, patient, considerate and very pleasant. It was so exceptional, I wanted to ensure that Jessica’s superiors were aware of the level of excellence she offers. I can only thank her and you for the exact kind of positive experience we hope our clients feel after we have met with them. Please pass this along to Jessica and kudos to you for hiring such good talent. Bradley Forman You are incredibly fortunate to have someone like Debra Chiesa on your team. She is incredibly talented in her field. Debra takes her time, makes sure she absolutely has the right answers and then assists us effortlessly. She is to be commended for her complete knowledge of the subject, tenacity for follow-up and the smarts to make us look very good to our client base. Give this employee a big raise so we never lose her! There should be more people like Debra and our jobs would be so much easier with our clients. Thank you, Lynn An Intuit client wanted to pass along how pleased she was with Erica Noble’s service. She worked in a customer service department herself, and therefore knows the importance of quality customer service. She was extremely happy with the way Erica was able to navigate her through the system in order to answer all of her questions, as well as her ability to solve her issue effectively and agreeably. I just spoke to Mistina Muscatel (Google). She got me on the line to give Maureen Halasz a glowing review. Ms. Muscatel informed me that her and her father had been going around and around about her taxes and Maureen was able to answer all of their questions. Ms. Muscatel stated that Maureen was able to answer everything with ease and was very well versed. Compliment Spotlight I had the pleasure to speak with Thomas Keeney (GSK). He enjoyed his interaction with Maureen Halasz so much that he made up his own word “Fabtabulous”. Mr. Keeney described Maureen as if she were a superhero. Mr. Keeney stated “Maureen was super helpful, she was able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and very pleasant throughout our call”. Maureen was able to find the clients missing tax document and see that there was an issue that needed corrected with the first tax form. Maureen may not have super strength or laser vision but she is truly a customer service superhero. This is the third compliment that Maureen has received this month.

Branch Services (Monica Suess) Metrics Observation: Year over Year March 2013 call volume has increased 35% over Mar. 2012 and is attributed 100% to the SB Conversion. Service Level and Average Speed of Answer have improved despite the increase in volume The steady decrease in volume is assumed to be a combination of IVR technology enhancements and user adoption of IVR key words. PSC (Monica Suess) Metrics Observation: Year over Year March 2013 call volume increased 300% over Mar 2012 and is primarily a result of the SB Conversion. Continued growth is attributed to proactive outreach initiatives.
