La Poste Retail Outlets

Delivering customer service in so many ways

2006 saw post offices rise to the challenge of making La Poste’s “Customer Relations Project” a success. La Banque Postale was born, 1,100 post offices revamped, 1,499 partner outlets opened and “Help at Home” service trials introduced, along with all sales objectives being met.

This impressive performance is a direct and clear result of the commitment of La Poste’s 75,000 branch staff.
