Remembrance Day to Remember – Recalling Values

Remembrance Day to Remember – Recalling Values

The phrase “at the eleventh hour” refers to the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, when the hostilities of World War I came to an end—but it still holds meaning today.
Remembrance Day (Veterans Day in the US) is observed on November 11 to honor and pay tribute to the brave veterans who have served or made the ultimate sacrifice in the military for their nations.
​
This Remembrance Day, let us remember the veterans who dedicated their lives to service for their countries. Veterans embody the values of selflessness, courage, and integrity. They chose to live for something greater than themselves, remaining devoted to their nation, their people, and the hope of a brighter future.

Drawing inspirations 

Teamwork

For veterans, staying together physically and mentally can mean survival. In war zones and camps, unity kept them strong and helped them fight together for their nation. Their spirit of teamwork can inspire us in how we collaborate today.

Selfless service

During their service, veterans put their own lives on the line so that others could live freely. Their actions remind us of the power of serving others before ourselves.

Adaptability

No matter how difficult or unpredictable the terrain, veterans learn to adapt. They face challenges with resilience and determination until they achieve victory or peace.

Making every moment count

On the battlefield, every moment counts. Every move is calculated and made with care to protect their team and the civilians around them while accomplishing their mission. These experiences teach us to appreciate time, act mindfully, and make every effort count.

Keeping your composure

Even in the most stressful situations, veterans train their minds and bodies to remain composed. Their calmness under pressure allows them to make sound decisions when it matters most.

Remembering the stance

Veterans undergo training to be ever-ready: to guard, protect, and act with purpose. Eventually, their values are inculcated into their lives. Their discipline, fitness, and mindfulness remind us to stay prepared, focused, and responsive in our own roles.

The challenges 

While we can proudly speak so much from the outside, the life of a veteran is not an easy road. They often miss home, important moments, and time with their families. They miss the rhythm of regular life and cannot take a break because their duties require them to remain alert.
When their service ends, veterans return home to a new chapter of life, one that brings the challenge of readjusting to daily routines. Some veterans may face health or emotional difficulties as they transition back, yet their discipline and strong values help them find balance and strength again.
To every veteran, we want to say: we honor you, we are proud of you, and we are grateful for your courage and dedication. We hope that through care, support, and community, every veteran finds comfort, healing, and peace.

Lessons for customer support  

The life of a veteran can be extremely challenging. Yet, customer support has many lessons to learn from the lives of our dear veterans.
The life of a veteran teaches us invaluable lessons that can shape our approach to customer service. Stay adaptive to change, and train your mind to remain focused and alert.
When customers share their challenges, treat their problems as your own by listening with compassion and offering thoughtful solutions. Zoho Desk empowers agents with essential features to keep them positive, supportive, and effective in every interaction, such as Zia's reply assistance, which helps agents generate empathetic responses.
The notifications center on the top-right of the Zoho Desk page helps by notifying you of tickets in which you've been mentioned and email failures. The announcements icon keeps you on track with new features and product upgrades. This ensures you stay updated and can easily adapt to changes. Turn every interaction with a customer into a meaningful experience.
As a customer support representative, challenges will come your way. Remember, you can work with your team and leverage the available technology to deliver results for your customers.
Let us be the guardians of our customers’ trust, just as veterans have been guardians of our nation. As we honor them today, let us carry their values forward with gratitude in our hearts and excellence in our service.

P.S.: In honor of the veterans you know, please share a life lesson you've learned (in the comments) that has helped you in your profession.

    • Tip #1: Learn to pick the right channels

      Mail, live chat, telephony, social media, web forms—there are so many support channels out there. Trying to pick the right channels to offer your customers can get pretty confusing. Emails are most useful when the customer wants to put things on record. However, escalated or complicated issues should not be resolved over email because it's slow and impersonal.  When you need immediate responses, live chat is more suitable. It's also quick and convenient, so it's the go-to channel for small issues.

      At our organization, we describe active projects with various statuses like "In Proofing" or "Printing" or "Mailing".
