Double-Duty Staff - Teri's Tip #27

Wherever you can, do as the Four Seasons Hotels and Walt Disney World do:  let back office staff learn front-line staff jobs so they can help out as needed or during busy times.  Let's them see what front-line staffers see and hear from customers on a daily basis and they'll be better able to serve them with that understanding.  Excellent external customer service starts with internal customer service.  There is a ripple effect in how we treat one another.

Besides the fact, it helps you in staffing situations when someone may have called in sick or for only those few hours or days that you really need an extra person.
