  8. Tips To Meeting the Needs of Newcomers • Quality customer service is the hallmark of a successful organization. Good sponsorship is quality customer service. • Commandant is committed to customer service through the core values of Readiness, People and Stewardship.

  9. Listen – many times a newcomer can reduce stress associated with a move by merely talking to someone “already there” who cares. • Determine needs and exceed them – sometimes newcomers don’t know what they need, so when they answer “nothing”, be suspect, but don’t go way overboard either.

  10. Be a sponsor to the entire inbound family - • ask questions about the newcomer’s family and • background, get spouse or children involved. • If you miss a call. Always call back the same • day – even if it’s at home. This is considered an • official phone call, which can be placed through • your units phone. Tell the newcomer who to call if • you you will be TAD or otherwise unavailable for • a period of time.

  11. Be open and honest, but stay positive – • let the newcomers form their own impressions • about the unit and the local area. • If you can’t respond to your newcomers • needs, get some help – your supervisor, • yeoman, Work-Life or Command Senior Chief. • They are ready to help you. • Encourage newcomers to view SITES.
