USPS News Link 12\/27\/18 – USPS focused on serving customers throughout the year, including the summer months.<\/p>\n

Employees helped customers\u00a0rebound from Hurricane Florence<\/a><\/em>, which tore a path of destruction through North Carolina, South Carolina and other states in mid-September.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Postal Service continued to strengthen relationships with business customers.<\/p>\n

During National Postal Customer Council Week, Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan highlighted Informed Delivery, Informed Visibility and other innovations that\u00a0make mail more valuable to businesses and customers<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMail is an incredibly powerful marketing channel, and we\u2019re giving it new capabilities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The focus on customers received applause from Ryan Cooper, national correspondent for The Week newsmagazine, who wrote a column\u00a0praising USPS<\/a><\/em>\u00a0for delivering \u201cfast and efficient service\u201d despite the significant challenges facing the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cUSPS really does keep the American nation putting one foot in front of the other,\u201d Cooper wrote.<\/p>\n

The year\u2019s third quarter also featured the\u00a0election<\/a><\/em>\u00a0of Robert M. Duncan and David C. Williams as chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the USPS Board of Governors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Postal Service marked a milestone when its lead programs, which encourage employees to provide USPS with tips on potential business opportunities,\u00a0reached $7 billion in new revenue<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Other highlights during the July 1-Sept. 30 period included this year\u2019s Postal Pulse survey results, which showed the percentage of USPS employees who feel \u201cengaged\u201d\u00a0climbed 8 points<\/a><\/em>\u00a0since 2015, and the release of several stamps, including a Music Icons stamp\u00a0honoring John Lennon<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
