The Postal Service is “delivering great results” for its customers, Chief Operating Officer Dave Williams told employees last week.

During a visit to Western Area’s Denver office, Williams discussed the record results USPS achieved in Standard Mail, Parcel Select and other benchmarks during the third quarter (April 1-June 30).

“We’ve got a tremendous amount of momentum on our side. We’re getting better week over week, which is inspiring,” Williams said.

Other topics addressed:

• Employee development. USPS is focused on developing its next generation of leaders, which Williams called a top priority.

“We’ve got to take responsibility of our personal development and we’ve got to take responsibility to develop others,” Williams said.

• Revenue generation. Although USPS has many financial challenges that are beyond management’s control, revenue generation is not one of them.

“We can control the revenue we bring into the system — and how we keep that revenue is by providing great service and becoming more efficient,” he said.

• Customer service. Employees must ensure every customer has an excellent experience.

“Everything we do has to provide value for our customers. And when we do that, and they have a great experience, it’s what will set us apart from our competitors,” Williams said.
