- Devised several expansion and retention strategies:Address key issues & questions during the training: Will I get credit for this? How much time will this take? How does it help me? Include a personalized comment when assigning a question.Periodically review answers to questions and send personal messages to responders thanking them for their good and timely responses.Seek out individuals within the organization when a specific question needs expertise not yet covered and ask if they can answer it. Then recruit them to join the Ask an Expert system to answer future questions. Emphasize the option to “hand off to a wrangler” and ask them to immediately make a decision about any question assigned to them and to act on that decision by either handing off or answering.Recognize consistent, dedicated responders in organization-wide communications and with annual awards.
- Full circle – Ask an Expert is on the front page of MSUE along side Find an Expert, A small bookmark promoting the use of Ask an Expert was designed and sent out to county offices to use to give out to clientele who walk in.
