the only way.
Quality
For more than 150 years, quality has made Otis the most trusted name in the industry.
Integrity
We must do the right thing every time, and run our business to the letter and spirit of the
law. By acting ethically and honorably, we win the loyalty of our customers.
SERVICE EXCELLENCE:
Service excellence is more than what we provide, it’s how we think and act. It’s
not just “fixing a problem” or performing routine maintenance, it’s the “smile” in
the voice on the phone, the prompt response to a request and the drive to always
improve. It’s how we work with one another and how we work with our
customers and the riding public. We believe that service excellence begins with
each employee’s commitment to improve the things—no matter how small—that
are in their control. By keeping an “at your service” attitude and striving to exceed
our customers’ and each other’s expectations, we are working hard to become a
benchmark for superior service—not just for elevator companies, but for all
companies worldwide. Every Otis employee is expected to practice Service
Excellence every day, following this 12-point roadmap. Our vision of making
Otis the leader in service excellence must be evident in the actions of every
Otis professional worldwide. Likewise, every employee is an ambassador of Otis
who must help us achieve our mission of being first in service, first in products
and first in performance. Our employees are the Otis brand—the embodiment of
the values we share.
Think safety first. Each employee is responsible for their own safety, the
safety of other workers, and the safety of the riding public. Every employee is
empowered to take any action necessary to eliminate the potential for an accident.
At the beginning of each work session, scan the area for hazards or risk of
accident. At the end of each work session, make sure the job site or workspace is
clean, tidy and safe.
Visit your customer every time you are in their building. Convey a sense
of urgency in your work and keep your customer fully updated on your progress.
When possible, check in and check out with them daily, giving a brief overview of
the work you have completed. Remember to ask if there is anything else you can
do for them and, above all, to thank them for their business. If the customer is not
there, leave a card with a note.
Remember that you are always on view. Adopt a pleasant and constructive
attitude. A smile goes a long way toward maintaining a positive image. Take pride
in your appearance. Take pride in your work. Take pride in your company.
Ask yourself: “What does the customer want?” Then work to exceed those
expectations. Follow up on every job. Never assume that any problem has been
fixed.
Safety and reliability have been Otis’ foremost concerns since our company’s earliest
days. Today, Otis has one of the best safety records in the vertical transportation industry.
We work constantly to improve the safety of existing products and develop safer
technologies for new products. Otis emphasizes a corporate policy of “safety first” and
implements standardized procedures to ensure that every installation and service task is
performed the safest way, every time. Otis products undergo stringent quality and safety
testing at our testing facilities around the world.

machine-roomless.

customers’ needs and challenges; providing reliable maintenance; and modernizing
systems to keep pace with a building’s changing face and function. In all areas of service,
Otis is committed to inspiring total customer confidence.
Because each customer defines service differently, our approach to satisfying customer
needs is both broad-based and personalized. With the world’s largest network of branch
