1.1

NEGATIVE SCENARIO
Mrs. Maphoso had her Kia Sportage scheduled for its 1st service on 2012-03-29. Upon arrival she had a few areas she wanted to be checked during the service. Detailed notes on her areas of concern where made when opening the job card to ensure that the allocated technician would attend to those concerns. As soon as the service was completed the workshop foreman handed me the job card to be invoiced and I phoned the client as soon as her vehicle was cleaned and looked brand new awaiting her in the parking area. Mrs. Maphoso arrived at 16:15 where she immediately saw the workshop foreman and asked him to please explain to her what was found and done on her vehicles’ areas of concern. He explained the first point to her in Afrikaans after which she informed him that she would prefer for him to please explain it to her in English as she doesn’t clearly understand the terminology in Afrikaans. He just kept on

    Language Barrier Case Study

    A Korean patient was picking up the prescription in the pharmacy I work at. This was a new medication for him with a very complicated dosing regimen. When a new medication is being picked up, the computer prompts the technician at the pick up station to ask the patient if the patient has any questions about the new medication. The patient was asked that question, but because of the language barrier did not really understand the question and the technician took the answer to that question as a “no”.…

    Organizational Culture Inventory

    The unit I selected to study is the Sales and Service department of the organization where I am employed, Verizon Telecommunications. It is the customer service department in which customers call in to order new service, add services or products to existing service, and report any questions, comments or complaints. In addition to placing orders for services, if a customer has a problem or a technical issue, my job is to analyze the problem or issue and recommend a solution. Notice however, the department title, Sales and Service. It is of no accident that the word Sales, is before Service. This is in fact a sales job. During every call, I must make sure I recommend a product or service to a customer. The problem is that management place a great deal of emphasis on the sales aspect of the job and not enough on the customer service aspect. Thus, creating a highly competitive cultural environment where good customer service skills and work ethics become questionable.…

    Training Program Development

    The first step in analyzing the situation in the customer service call center is to gather information on the organization’s business plans, the job descriptions, job specifications, and job contexts. Then continue with studying the essential functions for each job. “The analyst lists the tasks that comprise the job and determines the skills, personality characteristics, educational background, and training necessary for successfully performing the job” (Byars & Rue, 2008, p. 66). Analyzing the situation of the customer service call center takes time and requires input from employees, managers, and leadership. The HR advisor can pursue the analysis through observation, conducting interviews with employees, and creating structured questionnaires to evaluate the situation. With all the information gathered, the analyst can start developing training programs to fit the organization and improve performance.…
