Power of One
Make your healthcare customer service training stick like glue
So, how do we get your customer service training to stick like glue?
At Baird Group, we created training modules for healthcare employees that teach essential skills and help them see their individual role in delivering great customer service. To make it stick, we’ve developed a unique training program for directors, managers and supervisors in the following areas:
- Nursing
- Registration
- Food services
- Schedulers
- Hospitality
- Housekeepers
- Ancillary services
- Billing
Not every person who works in a healthcare organization takes care of patients, but everyone has customers. Each encounter is an opportunity to be the face of the organization. This licensed training product gives you the tools to sustain your own, ongoing, customized classes. Train-the-trainer sessions, led by Baird consultants, equip your in-house trainers.
Power of One teaches all healthcare staff:
- The power each person has in shaping the experience
- How to show empathy in words and actions
- The behavioral standards for service excellence
- How to take ownership
Power of One teaches leaders to coach, mentor, model, manage and even hire to build a culture of healthcare customer service excellence.

Frontline participants learn:
