POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

Poor management

Monitoring is imperative in ensuring proper customer service. Due to the poor management in Fly Sydney Airlines, the bookings have reduced and the information management system is poor. If proper monitoring had been discovered earlier, the company could have discovered the faultiness in the information system early and prevented the losses incurred in the recent months.

Task 2: Create a Customer Service Charter and Returns Procedure

Poor management may severely affect the company in the long. It many influence employee retention. In 2013’s Gallup’s report of the American Manager, one out of two professional who participated in the survey said that at some point in their career they had to quit jobs to get away from their managers (Pfeffer, 40, 2014).  However, strong managers who employ good management skills improve the company by reducing turnover, empowering employees and boosting their morale hence, more productivity. It is crucial for the airline to employ good management skills driving employees to give their best.

When employees are not recognized for their accomplishments and only recognized for their failures, they feel inferior and they feel they are not valued at work. They work in a state of fear of making mistakes (Pfeffer, 45, 2014). This is a common problem and it always leads to more mistakes. The manager should communicate effectively and not only by delegating but letting employees know that they are valued in the airline.

Poor managers threaten employee’s job security and when employees sense that they may lose their jobs, they use company time to look for new jobs and the daily business operations are affected. Their morale also reduces and they disregard the company’s, goals and objectives.

 Unqualified Staff

The staffs are unqualified given the fact that they did not discover the faultiness of the information management systems. They are also not keen in discussing the aircraft’s safety procedures.

It is important for the airline to hire qualified staff since they will make sure that they offer customer the best experience which is a main driver for sales. Happy customers will always come back and they will refer their friends which mean more revenue for the airline. By disregarding the key safety procedures, the staff puts customer in danger and this will drive them to the airline’s competitors. Up notch customer experience will yields customer satisfaction which will boost customer loyalty and the company will easily tap into the market drawing in more customers (Lemon, 70, 2016). Qualified staff may cost more, but it is an investment.

YOUR SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

Staff training

It is evident that most employees have a few weaknesses in their work environment skills. A training program will enable the company to improve those skills that every employee needs to move forward. The training program will bring all workers to a more elevated level so they all have similar skills and information. This decreases any frail connections inside the organization that depend on others to finish fundamental work errands. Giving the important training makes a general learned staff with employees who can take over for one another as needed and embrace teamwork

Task 3: Design a Complaints Resolution Process Flowchart

Regular Staff Training

Training will help in guaranteeing that work skills remain current. When employee is equipped with the current skills, they can be in a better position to address the issues that arise in the organization.

Technology has been changing day by day. There are system updates every now and then and employees need to know about these changes and they need to familiarize themselves with the new features in the system. Training gives employees a chance to expand their knowledge. However, the airline may find this expensive since the staff will miss out on work time as they attend the training sessions which may affect the day to day business operations. Nevertheless even though there may be these drawbacks, training benefits both the company and the employees since it a worthwhile investment.

Training boosts employee performance since they are more aware of the safety measures and the proper guidelines for different tasks. Through training, employees acquire new skills, boosting their confidence since they understand the industry and the job better (McGill, 20, 2017). The confidence may make them perform better and they come up with new ideas to improve the organization. With their new skills, the employees will help the company in securing its position as leader in the industry, acquiring competitive advantage since through better service, customer experience improves.

Since the company invests in training, employees realize that they are valued and they stop seeking other job opportunities. Training nurtures a supportive working environment that boosts employee satisfaction. They are encouraged to give their all, since they know that the company also sacrifices for them.

 Regular Customer Questionnaire and Survey execution

This will help in identifying the needs of the customers as well as the weaknesses in the current services. This can act as a guide for the company on making improvements to achieve customer satisfaction.

Customer feedback is important since the airline can get ideas on how to personalize their products and services. Through customer feedback the airline can know its customer at a personal level and the customers will feel value when they realize that the airline follows their advice.

Random quality checks inspection.

This will ensure that the company upholds the safety requirements set by the Airline controls and improve the safety of the customers.

Carry out Systematic Analytic Tools and Techniques to identify and resolve problems

This will be effective in identifying all the problems in the company and designing the best mechanism to address the problems.

Task 6

Task 4: Create a Customer Service Plan

a. Janice is ignorant about customer information which makes her lack the ability to serve the customers well. She also does not embrace teamwork which affects her performance.In employee training; emphasis should be placed on customer service. While some positions do not really communicate directly with customers, customer service is something every employee should try to do. At the same time, the company should have a good customer service atmosphere.

b. An effective induction and training program, matched to appropriate performance appraisals will benefit company, the company and all the customer/ supplier interface members. Good customer service comes from employees who have a very clear understanding of what good customer service is; systems and processes which are designed around customer needs and wants; work cultures which support and reward employees for good customer service- satisfied employees will input higher levels of discretionary effort with regard to customer service; an exceptionally good internal customer interface which is consistently supported by adequate resources; good relationships with suppliers who support the organisation’s quality objectives; effective training and training support mechanisms within the organisation.

Performance appraisal will ensure that she performs to the best of her ability. She will nurture her potential and she will get the right reward which will translate to better organizational performance. Through performance appraisal, Janice will identify her training needs and if it is needed, she will get training and development making sure that she can achieve her goals and objectives as set by the organization (Bernadin, 50, 2013). The procedure will also benefit her individually since it includes performance review component which will help her in career development by predicting the kind of work she may do in future. Appraisal will depict the results that Janice should produce within a certain period while comparing her performance against a certain standard.

c. Yes, it is. Customer service is very important, because the level of customer service is directly related to the organisation’s reputation. Often, customers choose a company not just because of the produces company offers. Many companies can provide the products with no difference. However, in the choice of customers, they will choose their own most satisfied one. In this process, customer service has shown a very high value. That is why it is necessary for Janice to understand that she has a very definite role to play with regard to customer service. Good customer service will be provided by people who have a commitment to employers and customers. Those employers or leaders/ managers who lead and manage in ways which satisfy employee needs and expectations, who empower employees and who include employees in planning and decision-making, who acknowledge and reward employee contribution and who pay fair wages for a fair day’s work can expect employee loyalty. A climate in which employees feel secure and respected will naturally encourage customer focus. Thus, the wellbeing of employees should be a high priority in all organisations.

Hello everyone, I would like to begin by appreciating your hard work and the effective problem solving techniques used in dealing with the issues me the organization. I am also grateful of the teamwork embraced by all of you to ensure that customer satisfaction is achieved. Your patience and understanding has helped us deal with the customer bullying and maintain the operations of the company and that is really impressive. I also thank you for being understanding and the failure to overreact when approached by the bullying customers.

Firstly, I understand everyone is suffering from the work stress and complaining with the more work than daily work. However, we need to understand that the company is working towards reducing production costs while at the same time maintaining the quality of our services. Secondly I assure you that your complaints are being addressed and the management will ensure that the issues of employee dissatisfaction do not happen again in this organization. The company is also working towards reducing the workload of employees to avoid being overworked. This will be addressed through hiring more employees. It has officially been confirmed that the security department will have 20 more staff members to join us in order to manage the rush hours in the airport. This will increase our effectiveness and help us manage our customers better.

Lastly, I hope everyone can keep up the positive energy in the work environment and treat the passengers well. In case of any issues I would like to urge you to report them to me early so that they can be addressed. Thank you so much again for your work and your patient.
