Dallas, Texas – Ryan, a leading global tax services firm, became the first company to ever qualify for recertification of the prestigious International Customer Service Standard (ICSS) Gold Certification from the Customer Service Institute of America (CSIA), a member of the International Council of Customer Service Organizations. In 2012, Ryan also became the first company ever awarded this exclusive, three-year accreditation resulting from an extensive review of the Firm’s client service and quality management processes.
The rigorous criteria of the ICSS was developed and is regulated by the International Council of Customer Service Organizations to provide a comprehensive and practical framework for assisting organizations in consistently delivering high levels of service, as well as aligning both passion and process in areas such as service, finance, operations, and learning and growth. Prior to attaining its 2012 and 2015 Gold Certifications, Ryan recorded the highest certification score ever produced in an initial application by a North American organization.
“I congratulate Ryan on becoming the first company to ever achieve ICSS Gold Certification, as well as the first company to ever recertify,” said Christine Churchill Burke, Executive Director of the Customer Service Institute of America. “Ryan possesses an unwavering commitment to superior client service, as demonstrated by the significant improvement in its ICSS scores since its inaugural certification.”
“Ryan’s ICSS Gold Certification independently validates a new international standard of client service excellence set by our Firm,” said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ryan. “We remain committed to delivering the highest level of client service, value, and results.”
