During National Customer Service Week (October 6–10, 2025), we’re shining a light on our gWorks support team; the calm voices and curious minds who help keep our clients moving forward.
Our Powered by People series continues today with Andrew Ryder, a Client Services Representative whose approach blends empathy, clarity, and a deep respect for the work small-town clerks and municipal teams do every day.
When Support Goes Beyond the Software
Andrew remembers a moment when a client, working solo, juggling multiple responsibilities, called in overwhelmed.
“After resolving her immediate issue, I took time to encourage her,” he says. “Months later, she reached back out to say how that support changed her confidence and workflow. That meant a lot.”
For Andrew, that’s the difference between fixing problems and truly supporting people. It’s not just about what gets solved, it’s how the client feels when the call ends.
A Culture of Empowerment
When describing gWorks’ approach to service, Andrew doesn’t hesitate:
“It’s client-focused, proactive, and solutions-oriented. We combine reliable expertise with a deep understanding of local government workflows.”
But it’s not just about responsiveness. Andrew sees support as empowerment—helping clients succeed through tools like gWorks University, help docs, and education that gives them confidence, not just answers.
The Complexity Behind the Call
From the outside, supporting local governments might look like basic software troubleshooting. But Andrew knows better.
“Supporting municipalities means understanding the complex systems that drive public service, and the weight of that responsibility,” he explains. “It takes care, awareness of limited resources, and always thinking ahead.”
It’s this appreciation for the whole picture that allows Andrew to show up for clients with insight, not just answers.
Turning Frustration Into Confidence
Andrew recalls working with a client whose billing issue was causing ongoing frustration.
“I started by listening—really listening. Then I walked them step-by-step through the solution and left them with documentation and follow-up.”
The client went from confused to confident. Andrew walked away reminded that clear communication and patience are some of the most powerful tools in support.
Working With the Heart of the Community
Ask Andrew what makes working with small-town clerks and admin teams special, and he lights up.
“They care. Deeply. They wear multiple hats and serve their neighbors every day. Supporting them means supporting entire communities.”
It’s that sense of purpose that makes this work not just technical, but meaningful.
Small Habits. Big Impact.
One simple habit Andrew sticks to: confirming understanding before taking action.
“I repeat back what the client says to make sure we’re on the same page. It prevents miscommunication and builds trust.”
This is a small step that makes a big difference, especially when time and clarity matter most.
Growing Forward, One Challenge at a Time
Adopting a growth mindset has been key to Andrew’s professional development.
“I treat challenges as learning opportunities. It keeps me curious and builds my confidence to tackle new problems head-on with the support of our team.”
It’s a mindset that mirrors gWorks’ Grow Forward value: always improving, always learning.
A Message to Every Client
If Andrew could send one message to every client gWorks serves, it would be this:
“We are truly here to support you, every step of the way. Don’t hesitate to reach out. Your success is our success.”
✨ Fun Fact
When Andrew’s not solving client problems, he’s writing:
“I’ve had poetry, a book, and news articles published, and even won awards for them!”
