The WorldHost Customer Service programmes are about focusing on the needs of customers. The skills and techniques taught work equally well in large and small businesses as well as for locations of all sizes. The programme makes a difference to individual professional growth, as well as to business development, around the world.

WorldHost training has been used to train over 350,000 people in the UK, including staff and volunteers for the London 2012 Olympics.  This in turn helped the UK to rank in the top ten globally for the welcome it gives visitors.

WorldHost Customer Service

The WorldHost Customer Service suite of programmes can be customised to meet the needs of businesses, large and small.  The programmes are also highly valuable for destinations such as town centres, shopping centres and visitor attractions who are looking to improve customer service.

WorldHost Recognition Scheme

Once a business has trained over 50% front-line staff it can apply for WorldHost Customer Service recognition from People 1st. They provide additional collateral which includes: recognition certificate, window decals and you will also be able to display the WorldHost Customer Service logo on your website and stationery.

WorldHost Destination Status

A Destination (like a town, city, or region) can also apply to be recognised as a WorldHost Destination once 25% of the local businesses have become WorldHost recognised.  Skillslocal is happy to support you on this journey if this is something you would like to achieve. Locations including Liverpool City Region and shopping destinations including Cheshire Oaks have all achieved Destination Status.
