Highland’s Service Standards

Courtesy

– The key to good service. Attention to customers, both internal and external, is crucial. I will remember that whatever task I am engaged in, I will stop to welcome a customer with a smile and acknowledge that individual’s needs.

Learning

– The key to a learning institution. Incorporate learning into everything we do. I will consistently learn more about my job and those who need my service, and I will help them learn from the service I provide.

Effective Communication

Cleanliness, Security & Safety
