We deliver an employee and customer experience that lives up to our name in all our interactions, no matter how great or small.
Core competencies
We create organizational excellence through five core competencies that underpin each employee’s ability to facilitate the delivery of a rewarding customer experience. Those competencies include keeping a customer focus, ensuring accountability, adapting to situational cues, collaborating with others and communicating effectively. We know that when we implement our values and core competencies in our day-to-day actions, we are delivering excellence to our customers and stakeholders.
A customer-first approach is critical to everything WOW! does. Our commercial and residential customers have unique needs. We determine optimal services for each customer, customizing solutions as needed. But delivering the WOW! experience means we need to do more. We remain accountable for the work we provide to our customers after implementation, just as we do when collaborating with our internal partners. We act with integrity and rely on our collaborative culture to achieve these goals. Employees have the trust and support of others in the organization as they deliver services that live up to the WOW! name. Effective communication, which entails both speaking and listening, is a critical component of every one of these steps, ensuring accountability in the organization. Delivering on WOW!’s mission requires a thoughtful, helpful and timely exchange of information, both internally and externally.
