About the program

In an era where your customers are more likely to be vulnerable than ever before, the risk of burnout for those on the front line of customer service is high. This seminar consisting of two modules provides practical guidance on how to respond to customer interactions with compassion without compromising your own wellbeing.

Designed by CSBA for local government front line staff,  the course will be facilitated by expert trainers in customer experience. The interactive course has only 20 places available and will be delivered over two modules. The first module aims to offer an information seminar for all customer-facing staff, affording participants a broad understanding of how to better handle conversations with vulnerable customers and how to avoid ‘empathy burnout’ with some key resilience strategies. Participants then extend their learning with workshops designed to further enhance their skills in understanding customers through empathy profiling, and remaining resilient during challenging times.
