Ontario Public Service Guide to Public Service Ethics and Conduct
The people of Ontario are entitled to a public service that conducts itself with integrity and impartiality. They rightfully expect their public servants to uphold the public trust and
provide the highest level of service quality.
Being a member of the Ontario Public Service (OPS) is a privilege that comes with important ethical responsibilities. As public servants, ethical conduct is a critical part of who we are and what we do regardless of our assigned roles and responsibilities. Acting with integrity, and complying with all applicable laws, is essential to our reputation and long-term success as we work hard to earn and constantly maintain the trust of the public. The same qualities are also essential for the personal and professional success of each employee.
3.0
What is “Customer Service Excellence? To better understand the importance of excellent customer service, take a few minutes to reflect on your own experiences of it. Remember that service can be provided and received in a variety of ways, not just at a counter.
Share a story with a partner about a specific occasion when you received “Customer Service Excellence”.
Think about a time when you received exceptional customer service.
What was happening?
What did the person do? Say?
How did the encounter make you feel?
How was your behaviour impacted?
What images or words come to mind when you think about that scenario?
Notes about what you learned from your partner’s experience and your own:

Court clients who require assistance with an accessibility-related need will have access to the services of an Accessibility Coordinator at our court locations*.
* In some regions, an Accessibility Coordinator may be assigned to more than one court location, depending on the size of the court. Service Expectations
Clients should walk away feeling they were treated properly and were given good service. CSD employees can ensure this by:
Being fair, impartial and professional in everything we do.
Remembering that clients are also taxpayers and citizens, and therefore we are accountable to them.
Making sure no one receives preferential treatment, or benefits from any information you may obtain through your work at CSD.
Avoiding forming or expressing opinions on cases before the court.
Being sensitive to the fact that some court cases are very traumatic for the participants.
CSD Code of Conduct
Court Services Division is committed to providing you with service in a mutually respected environment. Staff will treat you with courtesy and respect at all times. To help us better serve you, please treat our staff and other customers with the same courtesy and respect. If any individual cannot conduct themselves in a respectful and courteous way, the manager may be called to assist. CSD Training Tools – Excellence in Court Services

Rating Customer Service on Procedural and Personal Dimensions
Quality customer service needs to be understood from a customer’s perspective. Our
clients tend to rate the level of service that we provide on two dimensions:
a)
The procedural dimension: the established systems and procedures to deliver services.
b)
The personal dimension: how service providers (using their attitudes, behaviours and verbal skills) interact with clients. WĞƌƐŽŶĂůŝŵĞŶƐŝŽŶ

Reflecting on Customer Service from the Client’s Perspective Poor Customer Service
Take a moment and reflect upon a time when you experienced poor customer service.
•
How did it make you feel?
•
What did you think?
•
How did it make you act?
•
What could have been done differently?
Feedback from our Clients on Customer Service
Positive Feedback:
“I was amazed that I received courteous service as soon as I walked in. Mrs. X was extremely helpful and was willing to walk me through the process and provide me with some forms as I needed to correct two documents. She was always friendly and even when I returned to the office and had to wait for one person to finish, other ladies in the office were checking to see if they could help me. I would say that it made an unpleasant reason for visiting the courthouse a little easier to handle.”
Why do you think that this client had such a good customer service experience? What do you think that the CSR did to make the visit as pleasant as possible?

Negative Feedback “The women who serve the public there are short tempered, impatient and unfriendly. I came to respond to a lawsuit in which I was the defendant. It's an extremely stressful situation in anyone's life but it was made much worse by the attitude of these public servants. One of my forms was filled out incorrectly and when I tried to get information about what I needed to provide, the woman said "I am not here to give you legal advice". I didn't think I was asking for legal advice. I was asking for advice about how to satisfy the court's form requirements. They were rude, insensitive and I walked away in tears. Empathy would have been welcomed.”
Why do you think that this client had such a bad customer service experience? What do you think that the CSR did to make the visit unpleasant?

Maintaining Court Decorum
“The public will judge whether or not the justice system has fulfilled the mandate to provide timely and effective justice services based largely upon how you conduct yourselves during court proceedings, at the counters, in the hallways, and even outside in front of the courthouse in the company of your colleagues. An awareness of the public’s perception of your impartiality and your respect for the system and the people is
central to your job.”
From a memorandum to staff by the Honourable Madam Justice Monique Métivier

Emotional Intelligence Emotional intelligence is necessary to providing customer service excellence. It is about understanding our own emotions, managing them and recognizing the emotions of others. Emotional Intelligence is thought to be a greater predictor of personal success than intelligence.
Four Key Behavioural Competencies of Emotionally Intelligent People:
1.
Self Awareness:
Awareness of and ability to accurately identify one’s own emotions
Understand how they influence your thoughts and behaviour
2.
Emotions Management
Ability to manage one’s emotions to direct behaviour toward success
Take responsibility for one’s own thinking and emotions
Ability to deliberately engage, disengage, escalate and de-escalate to influence others.
3.
Reading Emotional Clues
Awareness and sensitivity to the emotions of others
Contribute to their emotional understanding
Guide these emotions to productive results
4.
Using Emotions for Growth
Ability to understand emotions and use the knowledge gained from them to promote personal growth.
Based on three principles:
1.
Reciprocity
2.
Continuity
3.
Empathy
Note: Competency 4 depends on competency 3, which depends on competency 2, and they all depend on competency 1!

Emotional Intelligence through Empathy
“They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”
To provide customer service excellence, you need to balance empathy with technical knowledge and skills. Empathy is different from Sympathy:
Sympathy = sharing another’s feelings
Empathy = the ability to understand and enter through imagination into the thoughts or feelings of another person
Empathy is the intellectual identification with the feelings, thoughts or attitudes of another. It is your ability to truly put yourself in your client’s position so you can understand their frustration. We can better meet the needs of our clients by showing empathy. Empathy is a skill that can be learned and developed over time. It requires exchanging information about feelings, thoughts, ideas and being aware of the impact this exchange has on the other person. The good news is that empathy is a skill that can be learned and developed
over time. Below is a list of tips to help you improve your empathy skills:
•
Listen – truly listen to people. Pay attention to others' body language, to their tone of voice, to the hidden emotions behind what they are saying to you, and to the context.
•
Don't interrupt people
. Don't dismiss their concerns offhand. Don't rush to give advice. Don't change the subject. Allow people their moment.
•
Be fully present
when you are communicating with people. •
Tune in to non-verbal communication
. This is the way that people often communicate what they think or feel, even when their verbal communication says something quite different.
•
Use the person’s name when speaking to them, if applicable.
•
Smile
at people.
•
Encourage people

Empathy Practice Scenarios
Client Scenario 1: “
Yesterday I waited here for over an hour for someone to come back from lunch. Please don’t tell me you don’t know how to help me and the person I need is on a break. I cannot take more time off work”
Choose the Best Response:
Well I am here now, what do you need?
I’m sorry you had such a bad experience. How can I help you now?
I’m sorry you had such a bad experience but everyone has a right to have lunch. How can I help you now?
Client Scenario 2: “
At last. I have been waiting for almost two hours. Why is everyone talking and drinking coffee and only one person on the window? This is ridiculous. Can’t someone else help instead of just standing around so we can all move
along more quickly?” Choose the Best Response:
I'm sorry you've had to wait so long. What can I do to help you?
I can’t comment on what other people do but I am here to help you now.
Thanks for alerting us to the bad service you think you received but maybe they were talking about someone else’s case, I don’t know. What can I do for you now?
Examples of Empathy Statements
Working with angry or upset clients requires a high sensitivity to other people's feelings, even when the client is in the wrong. By not taking abuse personally, taking a step back mentally, and striving to understand why a client feels humiliated or wronged, an unhappy client can be turned into a satisfied one. The following are helpful empathy statements that can be used to defuse potentially explosive customer service situations:
•
“It sounds like you experienced some bad service. What can I do now to help fix the situation?"
•
"I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I'd like to try and help."
•
"I can understand how you might be feeling. I can imagine how frustrating that must be."
•
"It's understandable that you're very upset about what's happened."

Closed Questions: used to force brief responses. Are usually answered with yes or no
Leading Questions: suggest a particular answer or contain information that the questioner is looking to have confirmed
Non-directive Questions: questions cannot be answered with a simple one-word response. They are open-ended questions and encourage someone to talk and give more information.
Probing Questions: often begin with "why" or "how' because they invite someone to think deeper about a given topic and provide more detail.
Summary Questions: questioners paraphrase or give a recap of what has been said and then check that their understanding is correct by finishing with a closed question such as "Is that correct?"
14.4 Acknowledge without Agreeing
Tell me more
I can see why that might have annoyed you
I didn’t see that side of the situation
I understand you were very upset
I hadn’t considered that
That must have been very frustrating 14.5 Paraphrasing without Agreeing
Repeating what you have heard and how you understand it, using your own words.
“This is my understanding of what you are saying…. What else do I need to know to fully understand your perspective?””
“What I heard you say is….”
14.6 Smile and Be Positive
Positivity
is
a state or character of being positive. It is a state of mind influenced by feelings, thoughts and actions. The attitude that we send out is usually the attitude that we receive. Bringing a positive attitude to work each day will make your job and your colleagues’ jobs more enjoyable

The Ideal Customer Experience A Great Start
Greet and welcome the client.
Smile - Smiling relaxes people and will start the service interaction in a positive manner.
Identify and anticipate clients’ needs – Ask the client “how may I help you?” and when anticipating clients’ needs avoid making assumptions. Throughout
Listen - To better understand the client’s needs, ask questions and concentrate on what the client is saying. Don’t interrupt.
Offer Options or Solutions – If completing the service interaction may be difficult or not possible, offer the client alternative options, solutions and information.
Apologize - When something doesn’t go as planned, apologize. An Effective Ending
Ensure that you have answered the client’s questions to the best of your ability.
Gain agreement and ensure that the client understands the outcome of the process.
Determine if the client requires any further assistance. CSD Training Tools – Excellence in Court Services

16.0 Media Protocol in CSD
Responding to Media Inquiries
Court staff may provide basic information to media inquiries seeking information such as: •
location, time/dates of matters before the court, names •
spellings of concerned parties, counsel and the sitting judge EXCEPT
when there are restrictions (Sealed orders, YCJA matters, other)
More complex inquiries are to be referred to your Local Media Contact (LMC) who then provides the reporter with the ministry’s media spokesperson’s contact information (Brendan Crawley, 416-326-2210, brendan.crawley@ontario.ca) to contact directly
Such inquiries may include requests for:
•
Information about Ministry policies related to access to court documents and exhibits.
•
Courthouse facility questions.
•
Substantive information about matters before the courts.
If referring the reporter to the MAG media spokesperson:
•
The LMC provides the ministry’s media spokesperson’s contact information (Brendan Crawley, 416-326-2210, brendan.crawley@ontario.ca
) and advises the reporter to contact him directly with their questions. •
The LMC notifies both the regional office and the CSD Issues Unit by email providing the question, reporter’s name/media outlet, and any relevant background information.

French Language Services The Ministry is committed to providing French language services (FLS) in the courts system based on the concept of an “active offer”. This means ensuring that FLS are clearly visible, readily available, easily accessible and publicized and that the quality of these services is equivalent to that of services offered in English. For example:
In all designated courthouses, service representatives are to greet everyone using a bilingual format: "Bonjour, can I help you? “
If your client speaks French and you are not proficient in the French language, say
“Un instant, s’il-vous-plaît”, and call a French-speaking or bilingual staff member.
FLS Tools and Resources can be accessed on the CSD Intranet
or FLS Desktop Icon.

Accessible Customer Service – What It Means To You The Ministry of the Attorney General (MAG) must continue to comply with the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service
. Initial compliance was required by January 1, 2010. MAG adopted the OPS Accessible Customer Service Policy
– a part of our compliance with the standards. You are required to know this policy and apply it in your everyday work. Below are requirements of the regulation and reminders about what they mean to you as a MAG employee:
Policies, practices and procedures for providing accessible customer service to people with disabilities must be made available to the public upon request.
MAG’s Commitment to Accessibility
is available on the ministry’s website. Provide the customer
with a link to the website or offer to print it for them. If they request this document in an alternate format (e.g., braille, audio, large print), direct them to the ministry’s general inquiries at 416-326-2220 / 1-800-518-7901 or TTY 416–326–4012/1-877-425-0575. You may offer to contact general inquiries on their behalf.
Every employee who interacts with members of the public must be trained on the requirements of the regulation.
All MAG employees are required to take the May I Help You? e-course and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) (available through the Centre for Leadership and Learning) and review the OPS Accessible Customer Service Policy. Your manager will inform you
about additional training for your division or department.
Customers who use personal assistive devices to access goods or services must be allowed to do so.
In addition, you must allow people to use their personal devices, as they are necessary for ensuring equal access to services. You will need to know if your area has assistive devices
, where to find them and how to use them, and inform your customer that they are available. It may take longer than normal to serve someone using an assistive device, depending on his or her needs, so please be patient. CSD Training Tools – Excellence in Court Services

When communicating with a customer with a disability, do so in a manner that takes their disability into account.
The goal is to communicate effectively. Don’t assume how a customer will want to communicate. Be prepared to use gestures or a pen and paper. Use TTY or relay services
instead of the telephone when communicating with people who are deaf. Take the person’s disability and the service situation into account when determining how best to communicate. Where possible, ask the customer how they would prefer to communicate. See Communication
Access for People with Communications Disabilities
booklet for more guidance. Customers using a service animal must be allowed on government premises with the animal. You must allow the customer using the service animal
to be accompanied by the service animal.
Remember the animal is a working animal, not a pet. Do not touch, feed or distract the animal. If requested by the owner, direct them to a suitable location outside for the animal to relieve itself, or to a place where they can get drinking water for the animal. A support person must be allowed to accompany a person with a disability if required to access the goods or services.
A support person
is someone hired or chosen by a person with a disability to provide assistance with communication, mobility, personal care, medical needs, or access to services. A support person must be allowed to go wherever the person with the disability needs to go.
A feedback process about the accessibility of ministry services must be in place.
The feedback process must allow people to provide feedback in different ways – in person, in writing, by phone, TTY, or other means. You must understand MAG’s Accessible Customer Service Feedback Process
, be able to explain it to customers when needed, and take action on complaints about the accessibility of MAG’s services.
Notice must be given to the public in the event of a temporary disruption to a service or equipment that is normally used by people with disabilities. Customers must be informed of how they can access services.
Examples of services or equipment are: elevators, accessible washrooms, automatic door openers, assistive listening devices, or sign language interpreters. Let your manager know if you
notice that accessibility-related equipment is not working or there has been a last minute cancellation to a service. If you know in advance that one of your customers relies on this equipment or assistive service, call them to make alternate arrangements. Read the Notice of Service Disruption Process
.
Remember these general tips:
Talk directly to the customer with the disability – not their support person.
Don’t make assumptions – ask the customer, “How may I help you?” What works for one person may not work for another.

Offer assistance but don’t insist. Most people prefer to do things themselves if they can, but others appreciate an offer of help.
Be flexible and creative in finding solutions.
If you are concerned about how to provide accessible service, talk with your manager or supervisor.

Is the CSR giving Procedural Information or Legal Advice?
Scenario 1
Client:
I was sent here to file a private complaint against an individual but I am not sure exactly what the correct charge should be. Can you help me please?
CSR:
Yes, I can certainly provide you with the information package for a private complaint. In order to file this package you will need to provide the name and address of the person you are charging and the name of the offence you are charging them with.
Client:
Ok I have all that information but am not sure what the exact charge should be. The person is harassing me with phone calls and emails. Can I charge them with both harassment and stalking?
CSR:
It sounds more like harassment to me. Here is the form you need to complete. Make sure you
include the specific details of calls and emails in your complaint.
Client:
Thank you so very much for your help.
Scenario 2
Client:
Hello. I would like to file this plaintiff’s claim please.
CSR:
Ok. Let’s have a look at your claim. It appears that all the required information is complete, but I notice your claim does not include very specific details. Before you file this you should consider including more specifics in this section. Client:
Ok. How specific should I be?
CSR:
Well I can’t really advise you on that. Just tell your story in as much detail as possible.
Client:
Thank you so very much for your help.

CSD Scenarios Activity
Below are eight customer service scenarios that you may have encountered while working with Court Services Division. Read through the scenarios and discuss the following points with the people at your table:
1.
Identify the customer service challenge(s) 2.
What strategies, tools or techniques could you use to provide customer service excellence to the client?
3.
Should you make use of the escalation process
in this scenario and why?
Scenario 1
A self-represented client is currently in the middle of a family court trial. The client
does not speak English fluently and is requesting to file supplemental materials to the
trial record. You know that the judge presiding over the matter has set timelines for
materials to be filed and will not permit any of the parties to file additional materials at
this late hour. The client is having a difficult time understanding what you are saying
due to the language barrier and has cut you off mid-sentence numerous times. You
and your co-workers do not speak the client’s native language. There are at least 10
other people waiting to be served and only three service windows are open, including
yours. You begin raising your voice and the people around you have started to notice
your frustration. CSD Training Tools – Excellence in Court Services

Scenario 2
You are a court clerk working in bail court for the day. The proceeding is underway,
but counsel for the accused is missing an important document and has requested a
15-minute recess to locate the document. The judge orders a brief recess until the
document can be located. A member of the public who is interested in court process
approaches the front of the courtroom where you and the court reporter are seated
and moves forward to touch some of your files. The member of the public says to you
and the reporter “this case is very interesting. I think this guy is crazy! Do you think
the judge will grant him bail? Are there any other bizarre cases on the list this
morning?”
Scenario 3
A client who has filed for bankruptcy approaches your service window. The client
proceeds to relay, in detail, the events leading up to their bankruptcy. The counters
have been extremely busy all day and you are due to leave work (for the day) in five
minutes. You notice that the client is on the verge of tears and is visibly shaking while
recounting their financial and personal woes. Ten minutes later, they have not asked
you a question yet and you begin to lose patience. Finally, they ask you for an
explanation of what will happen when they appear in bankruptcy court. You attempt to explain the process without giving legal advice. The client listens but
proceeds to ask more questions, including how you think they should prepare for their
bankruptcy hearing. You have already explained that you cannot give legal advice to
which they reply, “But I have no idea what to do and I can’t come back to the
courthouse this week for help cause I have to work.” It is now 15 minutes after your
quitting time and your co-workers have left for the day. You grow increasingly
impatient.
Scenario 4
A client phones the courthouse for information about an appeal they have filed. You
are familiar with this client and know that they are dealing with some mental health
problems. While you are able to find the file, the document this person is referring to is
not in the file. You apologize and explain you cannot locate the document and
proceed to ask what date the material was submitted. The client proceeds to yell at
you and tells you that you are not permitted to question them about their
file/documents and that you are part of a conspiracy to sabotage their appeal.
Scenario 5
Counsel attends at the court service counter window to request information about a
particular file. Your colleague cannot locate the file in the office and explains to the
CSD Training Tools – Excellence in Court Services
37

client that he must check another location in the building. The lawyer states that they
must have the information now because they are in a rush. Your colleague once again
explains that the file must be retrieved from somewhere else in the courthouse. The
lawyer proceeds to raise their voice, stating there is a lack of efficient service, but then
decides to leave. You watch as counsel gathers their materials and starts walking
away from the service area. Then you hear your colleague swear at the lawyer.
Counsel also overhears your colleague and returns to the window to confront your
colleague.
Scenario 6
You work in your courthouse as an administrative assistant to the manager of court
operations. On Tuesday, head office sends you a reminder to submit the quarterly wait
time data from your court location by Friday. You can’t remember if the staff assigned
to coordinate the wait time tracking completed any wait time tracking this quarter. You
call your colleague to ask them for the data and they respond “You never asked me to
do that! How was I supposed to know?” You search through your emails to discover
that you did ask them to coordinate the wait time tracking this quarter. You now realize
that you are not going to be able to meet head office’s deadline and don’t know how
to proceed. You are also upset at your colleague for speaking to you in such a rude
manner. Scenario 7
A man is at your service counter looking seeking information about how to proceed
with a divorce. You provide him with some information and refer him to the appropriate
guide. He doesn't seem to understand and is having difficulty hearing you through the
glass security barrier at the service counter. You speak louder. He speaks louder and
eventually both of you are yelling and getting increasingly frustrated. He asks you to
"please look directly at him". You think he might have a hearing loss. Eventually he
leaves, noticeably upset, without getting what he needs. You tell your supervisor
because you expect he may be back and/or might make a complaint.
Scenario 8
You work as a Client Service Representative in an area designated under the French Language Services Act
and you are aware that your location should provide service in French based on the concept of the active offer
. A client attends your counter and indicates in broken English that the guide she needs is only available in English on your display rack. She asks whether the French version is available. Your court location has 2 bilingual staff who assist with counter service but one is on vacation and the other is on lunch break. You speak to the client slowly in English and indicate that you will inquire about whether the guide is available in French and explain that a French staff member who would normally assist is away on lunch. You ask the client to come back an hour later. The client is visibly upset and responds in French but you can’t understand what she is saying. CSD Training Tools – Excellence in Court Services

A Little Story
This is a story about four people named, respectively, Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do
it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
