Abstract

Outlines the benefits to the organization of enhancing customer service with the support of human resources specialists, who can play an important role in developing and reinforcing a customer service ethic. Increasingly, human resource specialists take on the role of internal consultants who provide guidance and facilitate the design and implementation of a customer services programme. Illustrates this with a case study of the Birmingham Midshires Building Society, where the HR function has played a major role in re‐creating the society as a customer focused business.
