Employee Power in Services Delivery

Unlike products that can be inspected and repaired, services are consumed as soon as they are produced. This places tremendous responsibility on the employees that provide the services. Organizations must select these employees very carefully and train them very thoroughly. More importantly, these employees must be trusted to treat customers with respect and TLC (tender loving care) rather than with TDC (thinly-disguised contempt).
