Introduction • Service Point was created to address the student marathon for administrative services at McGill • Our presentation will address employee life at Service Point as we continue to evolve through this integration
How do we do it? • Resources • Training • Service model – the Team
Resources • Systems: • McGill website • Knowledge Base (editable by all - wikipedia-style) • Shared network folder • Minerva, Banner • Webtop • Qnomy ticketing system • Call Centre Anywhere • Heat email ticketing system
Training - Then • 12 weeks of training (Fall 2009) • Formal class room setting • 3-5 hours per week • Subject specific & technical training • Job shadowing at Student Accounts • Presentations by subject matter experts from our partner units
Training - Now • Huddles (group): weekly, to keep up with news, changes, problems, etc • Refresher trainings (group): monthly, presentations and Q&A sessions with guest partner units or Service Point subject matter experts • Coaching (individual): yearly, focus on both professional and personal development • Learning from each other • Service Point Annual Retreat
The Frontline Team • Service Representative • Clerical, tasks and interactions are more transactional • More phones, less front counter • Service Professional • Student interactions are more involved, case management includes file review, approving of requests • More front counter, less phones • Senior Service Professional • Subject matter experts, liaison with other departments • Help with front counter and phones as needed
Some numbers • During the 2012-2013 academic year, our team served 188,810 people • On average, our daily volume is 400 phone calls, 350 emails, and 200 walk-ins • On average, each agent has 50 unique interactions per day
Life at Service Point • Applicants (40,000+ per year) • Trouble-shooting document submissions • New admits (approx 5,000 per year) • May to October: teachable moment time • Current students (39,000) • Holds: legal status, fee-related, academic documents • Course withdrawals & exam deferrals • Webforms (exceed credit limits, apply to graduate, withdraw from the university, etc) • Alumni, Third parties (including parents) • Information & documentation requests
Living the integration • The Service Point Intersection • “Where can I drop off a body?” !!! • Difficult to master all the material • Bookmark, bookmark, bookmark! • Transactions are longer but more holistic • Employee has more knowledge to be able to point out potential pitfalls to student re choicese.g. part-time status vs immigration status or scholarship eligibility • Case management more hands-on • Agent name & scheduled appointments • Breakout rooms • Peak season is continuous!
