Program Description

Frontline staff are the eyes and ears of every parking operation. Their awareness, initiative, and quick action can make the difference between smooth operations and costly disruptions. Explore how to empower frontline professionals to take ownership of their environment and play a proactive role in maintaining safe, efficient, and customer-friendly facilities. 

Learn to recognize early warning signs, whether a maintenance issue, a safety concern, or suspicious behavior, and take the proper steps before minor problems escalate into major incidents. Find out how attentiveness and accountability build customer trust, strengthen team success, and improve overall operations. 

Through practical tools such as maintenance checklists, visual cues, and real-world examples, gain confidence in your ability to identify, report, and respond effectively to what they see every day on the job. 


Learning Objectives 

  1. Demonstrate how ownership and empowerment positively impact operations, customer experience, and team success. 

  1. Use maintenance checklists and visual cues to spot early signs of issues before they become costly repairs or operational disruptions. 

  1. Recognize both tangible and intangible factors that shape customer trust, while understanding the frontline role in identifying theft, suspicious activity, or urgent incidents.
