The 2018 International Service Excellence Awards recognize organizations and individuals for their commitment to service excellence
The Customer Service Institute of America (CSIA) is the body delegated by International Council of Customer Service Organizations (ICCSO) to manage the International Service Excellence Awards. These awards are recognized as the premier service awards around the globe. Organizations and individuals that excel in service excellence compete in a variety of categories to earn recognition for their commitment to exceptional service experiences.
“The 2018 awards race was absolutely outstanding! The caliber of entries and variety of industries represented were the most to date. Making it even more exciting are the additional award categories added for 2018. Without a doubt, what we are seeing in the area of service excellence from these organizations is truly world class. The best use a brilliant combination of their people, as well as cutting edge technology to enhance their customer and client experiences. It is exciting to see the great strides these organizations and leaders are taking,”
– Founder and CEO, Christine Churchill
Judging Criteria
The judging criteria for the International Service Excellence Awards is aligned with the International Customer Service Standard (ICSS) , which provides a comprehensive and practical framework to assist organizations in delivering consistently high levels of service. This standard, based on the balanced scorecard methodology, reviews organizations to determine if the customer is the focus of the business and how that is supported through culture, processes, procedures, training, hiring practices, and daily actions.
