Staff development – Disability Awareness training in customer service
Did you know that 24 percent of New Zealanders are considered to have a disability?
That potentially represents one quarter of your customer base – are your service staff equipped with the right customer service skills to ensure a positive customer/client/patient experience for everyone?
“No Problem, You’re Welcome” is a training workshop and video which focuses on how to provide excellent customer/client service to people with disabilities when they enter your place of business.

About the No Problem, You’re Welcome” workshop
The training workshop, along with our locally produced training video, should take between 2 and 2.5 hours to complete.
Tiaho Trust provides the facilitators to run the workshop, along with workbooks and other support material for attendees. All our facilitators are people with disabilities, bringing an authenticity to the training that can only come from the real life experiences and examples shared with participants.
The training is designed to encourage discussion and thinking around how we view disability and what assumptions we bring to how we interact with customers who have an impairment.
By the end of the training, attendees will be able to view disability from a different perspective and have greater confidence in providing excellent customer service to disabled people in the same way they do for all customers.
