History
of “GET CONNECTED”
The “Get Connected” initiative began in 2001 as a way to encourage employees to focus on customer service and communication within the college. The motto “Get Connected... to our mission, each other, and ourselves” expresses the theme of quite a few programs over the last few years including: “FISH”, Customer Service training courses, Welcome sessions for new employees, and the Best Bet program. The latest addition is the new Employee Development Program. This program is intended to continue the “Get Connected” theme by not only providing employees with learning and development opportunities, but also by giving employees a chance to interact with each other and learn from one another.
The “Get Connected” theme reminds us that:
- We are a community of diverse people and departments connected together as we work toward a common purpose.
- It is important that everyone make the connection between what he or she does and the impact on others.
- There is a connection between customer satisfaction and our own job satisfaction.
- There is a connection between customer satisfaction and the future of the college because satisfied customers help us bring in new customers and opportunities to serve the community.
