About Service Excellence

The Service Excellence Program was established in 2020 as part of York's ongoing service transformation efforts. To achieve its goal of making routine administrative processes and tasks simpler and faster, the program employed business transformation and evidence-based methodologies to improve service delivery and community experience.

The Service Excellence Program is currently wrapping up its ongoing projects and transitioning future work to departments, including Finance, HR and the University Service Centre (USC). Read more about the future of service excellence here.
