Executive Summary
With low Welcome Visit CSMM scores becoming an increasing concern for Airtel, the
researcher is provoked to conduct research in the same area i.e. “Welcome Visit CSMM Score
Improvement”.
Welcome Visits are the visits made by the Welcome Visit Executives to the new postpaid
customers of Airtel. The purpose is to carry out the credit and address verification of the
customer. Besides, the Executive also provides requisite information to the customer regarding
the bill payment modes, bill plan details, etc. Here, the problem at Airtel is low
CSMM(Customer Satisfaction Management and Measurement) scores which are computed by
an organization called IMRB. Low scores indicates that the customer’s are not satisfied with
Welcome Visits. A study has been conducted to find the reasons behind the low CSMM scores
and hence ways have been suggested for its improvement. For this a survey has been undertaken
across 5 zones of Airtel namely Amritsar, Chandigarh, Bathinda, Ludhiana and Jalandhar. The
basic aim of the survey was to find out the areas in which the Executives were lacking.
Questionnaires were made filled from the customers personally along with some telephonic
interviews as well.
On the data collected three different analysis have been applied:-

• Analysis based on frequency.
7 | Page
• Discriminant analysis by using SPSS.
• And Fish Bone Analysis.
The basic findings of the analysis were as follows:-

• Current Recruitment process of the Executives needs improvement.
• No structured Training and Induction programmes for the Executives currently.
• Poor Job Knowledge of Executives.
• Poor soft skills of Executives.
• No audit of performance of such Executives.
The following recommendation have been given:-

• New Recruitment Process suggested.
• A 3 day Training/ Induction Module recommended.
• Good performers should be rewarded.
• Field audit should be conducted to measure performance.
A one day training programme was actually conducted after the company saw the results of this
study where in both job knowledge and soft skills training was provided to the Executives. The
training programme was a success in terms of extending knowledge to the Executives and it is
believed that the recommendations if implemented would definitely improve the CSMM scores.
Project Proposal
I. Project Proposed:
Analysis of the Welcome Visit CSMM (Customer Satisfaction Management and
Measurement ) Score of Airtel and its improvement.
The project is basically to identify the lags in welcome visits and thereby to improve
welcome visit scores through requisite Training and development of the welcome visit
executives and manpower planning.
II. Description of the Project in brief:

Welcome Process consists of Welcome visits, Welcome calls, and Welcome letters.
8 | Page
Overall CTI / PI scores of Welcome process is very good but if we see the scores of
Welcome Visit it is very less which is pulling overall scores down. Therefore, it is
very necessary to work on this to make the process customer friendly.
This project is basically to study the reasons behind the low CSMM scores and then
offering solution in terms of the type of Training required and also the necessary
improvisations to be done in the manpower planning so as to improve the CSMM
scores.
TERMINOLOGIES :
• Welcome visits are the visits which are paid by the welcome visit executives of
Airtel to the new Post Paid Customers to mainly check their verification and also
to enquire if they are facing any problems and accordingly resolving them if any .
• CSMM ( Customer Satisfaction Management and Measurement) scores
represent how much customer friendly the welcome visit processes are.
• CTI is the Customer Transaction Index which is perception based and PI is the
Process Index. CTI and PI are computed by an external audit agency based on the
satisfaction level of the customers in terms of the Welcome Visits. CTI and PI
basically represent CSMM scores.
III. Objective of the project:

Company’s Objective : To improve the welcome visit score from the present level of
CTI-29% & PI-28% to CTI / PI more than 50% by end of the year 2009.
My study will focus on achieving the company’s objective by undertaking the
following -
• Conduct Survey through filling of Questionnaires from the existing Postpaid
customers.
• Analysis of data (Fish Bone Analysis).
• Identify the weaker areas and suggest measures for improvement.
IV. Methodology: Both primary and secondary data would be used for the study.
• Methodology for the collection of Primary data would be Personal Interviews
(Questionnaires) and telephonic interviews.
• Secondary Data is collected from the website of Airtel.
9 | Page
• For Analysis, Fish Bone Analysis would be one of the methodology used besides
others.
V. Schedule:
Activity Start Date End Date
Define 25th Feb’09 15th Mar’09
Measure 16th Mar’09 18th Apr’09
Analyze 18th Apr’09 30th Apr’09
Improve 1st May’09 18th May’09
Define : In this time period we have defined the problem i.e. low Welcome Visit Scores in the
Welcome Process that affects the customer's requirement specifications. At this stage, we have
defined the target population for surveys i.e. all existing postpaid customers of Airtel spread
across all 5 zones In Punjab i.e. Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Bhatinda.
Measure: Here I will measure the satisfaction level of the post paid customers in terms of the
welcome visits through the filling of questionnaires.
Analyze : Here attempt will be made to identify lags in the Welcome visits and the parameters
which require improvement.
Improve: The results can be evaluated to solve the problem through suggestions and
recommendations.
VI.Limitations of the study:
• Inability to conduct exhaustive analysis due to short time period of study.
• Lack of authentic information from the respondents of questionnaires and telephone
attendants.
• Since the area of study covers 5 zones in Punjab, physical reach won’t be possible
due to which telephonic interviews will be conducted.
10 | P a g e
• The analysis or suggestions to the company will not be applicable uniformly
throughout India due to study of limited market/zones of operation.

Corporate Responsibility at Bharti Airtel
Overview
At Bharti, CSR is a way of life. Each department and employee strives to be sensitive to the
stakeholders and environment within their work context. Bharti encourages employees to take
decisions and design business-linked processes that are sensitive to communities and
environment.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Bharti encompasses much more than only social
outreach programs. It is an integral part of the way Bharti conducts its business. The essence of
Bharti’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in the ‘Corporate Values’,
which stem from its deepest held beliefs. These Values are:
• To be responsive to the needs of their customers.
• To trust and respect their employees.
• To continuously improve their services – innovatively and expeditiously.
• To be transparent and sensitive in their dealings with all stakeholders.
They encourage their employees to take decisions and design business processes, keeping in
mind the following:
• Ethics, fairness and being correct.
• Meeting and going beyond compliances and legal requirements.
• Showing respect and sensitivity towards stakeholders and communities.
• Nurturing the environment.
29 | P a g e
They practice their CSR beliefs and commitments through a three-pronged approach:
• Engaging with stakeholders.
• Ensuring stakeholder sensitive policies and practices .
• Undertaking programs for their employees, community and environment.
Bharti Airtel sensitizes its employees towards CSR issues at various forums. They feel that it is
important that each employee should understand the importance of environmental, social and
economical aspects while taking business decisions. At Bharti, each employee is sensitized
towards CSR issues and thus operations at the ground level are influenced. Such sensitization
exercises have resulted in many socially and environmentally sensitive decisions on the ground.
For example, Confidence Plan for hearing impaired people, covers noise-making DG sets at extra
cost, investing in consumer awareness campaigns to ensure safe use of mobile are some examples
of the above.
30 | P a g e
Employees At Airtel
Bharti Airtel believes that one of the most important drivers of growth and success for any
organization is its people. At Bharti Airtel, the ‘Mantra’ for employee delight focuses on 5 Ps –
People, Pride, Passion, Processes and Performance.
Bharti Airtel has been recognized among the Best Employers in the Country for two successive
years – being 14th in 2003 & jumping ahead of several other large conglomerates to an enviable
position of the 2nd Best Employer in the Country in 2004. This is a clear demonstration &
acknowledgement of the robust, progressive, people as well as business aligned Human
Resource practices, which the organization has developed and implemented remarkably in a
very short span of time.
Bharti Airtel follows an “open door policy” to approach the management, which helps resolve
issues with mutual agreements. They encourage people to stand up against any unfair treatment
for which they have the Office of the Ombudsman, where employees can raise any issues
regarding business and workplace conduct. Bharti ensures transparency through the various
communication policies, strategies and plans. Regular Employee Communication Forums
provides a platform for the employees to raise issues that require resolution.
Bharti Airtel’s leaders strongly believe in facilitating and initiating activities that help employees
manage their health and well-being. Their focus always remains to redefine leadership; develop
leaders who enable performance and inspire their people to unleash their potential. Their people
orientation reflects in their vision of being “targeted by top talent”, and a key aspect of our
business focus “building a best-in-class leadership team that nurtures talent at every level.”
Employee friendly HR policies have been put in place, which amply reflect the organization’s
31 | P a g e
concern for its people. Some typical examples of these policies and practices include a family-
day at office, half day leave for birthdays, gifts for anniversaries, compulsory 10 days off,
festival celebration with family, no official meetings on weekends, five day weeks, concierge
services, call center engagement programs etc. These “care” policies and practices are applied
across the organizational levels without any discrimination.
From self-management workshops to aerobics sessions, yoga classes to provision of

relaxation/meditation rooms, they ensure that every employee keeps a check on his/her fitness.
Tie-ups with leading health service organizations enable their employees to undertake periodical
health check-ups depending upon their age. This facility is also extended to employee family
members at discounted rates. The company provides Flexible Group Mediclaim insurance to all
employees, covering all kinds of illnesses, accidents and hospital coverage for serious ailments.
Apart from these specific engagements, they regularly organize health check up camps, eye
check-up camps and stress management sessions. Some of their offices have opened
gymnasiums/fitness facilities to ensure that the fitness fanatics do not have to worry about time
constraints to remain fit. At many of their locations, they have hired psychologists who
undertake personal counseling sessions for employees.
Bharti Airtel offers a flexible compensation structure to its employees wherein the employees
have the flexibility to structure their fixed component of their compensation according to their
requirements within the ambit of legislation.
“Even a sweeper in the corporate office must understand that, if he does not keep the office
clean, the visiting shareholders could question the company’s ability to manage a business if
they cannot manage their premises well” Mr. Akhil Gupta
Environment, Health and Safety
Overview
At Bharti, there is a belief in the philosophy to refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle. The company has
32 | P a g e
taken many initiatives in this regard, both within the offices for the benefit of their employees; and
for outside world for the convenience of the people
Few examples of the initiatives taken are mentioned below:

(a) Most of the new Airtel buildings recycle waste water for sanitary and cooling of equipment
purposes e.g. DG sets and AC systems. These buildings also have rain water harvesting systems for
ground water replenishment where appropriate.
(b) All Airtel offices have energy efficient light fittings and DG sets. They also ensure automation
that enables energy savings in their buildings. Building Management System (BMS) – Intelligent
Building concept is being followed in all the new Airtel building and campuses that are coming up.
The BMS controls The Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning (HVAC) system,, electricity load
management, water management, parking management, security and safety systems to ensure an
efficiently run building on optimal resources.
(c) New buildings also incorporate the concept of and Energy Wheel which optimises energy
efficiency in buildings. The AC system in their buildings adds a certain amount of fresh air
periodically; In the process of adding this fresh air the cool air within the building vents out which
may result into higher usage of energy to bring the cooling/ temperature back. The Energy Wheel
concept ensures that as we bring the fresh air in it is pre-cooled thereby optimizing energy
efficiency.
(d) Air quality is checked periodically in all Bharti Airtel offices, and based on the results, duct
cleaning, carpet cleaning, chair and sofa shampooing is undertaken. Water quality is also monitored
in cooling towers for DG sets and Air Conditioner systems so that water born diseases such as
legionella, etc. are avoided.
(e) Use of air curtains on major office exits and double glazing also results in significant energy
saving.
(f)At the time of oil change in DG sets etc, the discarded oil for disposal is only sent to companies/
vendors approved by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for proper disposal as per CPCB
approved processes. All Bharti Airtel offices follow the basic requirements specified by the
Pollution Control Board) and ensure statutory compliance.
33 | P a g e
(g) All Bharti Airtel offices have fire alarm systems. Periodic fire drills are carried out in Bharti
Airtel offices as a practice. All Airtel offices are provided with First Aid boxes and have identified
people as First Aid specialists..
Bharti Airtel takes all its equipment from its key vendors, namely Nokia and Ericsson, who comply
with all the required health and safety norms. There is an induction manual for sub-contractors to
ensure that they follow all the safety and statutory compliances as well as Bharti Standard Operating
Procedures.
Bharti Airtel is in the process of finalizing its Environment/ Health & Safety Policy (EHS) and will
apply for ISO 14001 compliance within the next 3 years for each of its facilities.
Community Initiatives
Overview
34 | P a g e
Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in, and built upon, the stated ‘values’ of Bharti – the
institution. These values guide all their activities and each employee is encouraged to take
decisions and design business-linked processes that are sensitive to communities and
environment.
“We have an obligation to fulfill to society and the communities in which we operate, and
help improve the quality of life for everyone, today and in the future.”
Based on the basic guidelines and direction provided in the Code of Conduct, Bharti has
undertaken many community programs.
Bharti’s contribution to society is structured through two channels, namely,

(a) Bharti’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives, including initiatives undertaken by
way of employee mobilization as well as running environment related programs; and
(b) Bharti Foundation, a separate vehicle established in 2000 to lead the CSR agenda of Bharti
Group of Companies

ways of reducing the consumption of resources, with the aim of leaving a better and greener earth

established connections after Tsunami hit Tamil Nadu. After being washed away by the wave, this
employee went back to work on restoring connectivity for the struck region. Word of his
dedication spread within Bharti and he received tremendous response from his fellow Bhartians.
Over 80 emails were addressed to him and presented to him in recognition.

with an NGO to provide relief to the flood victims in the flood hit areas of Assam, Bihar and
West Bengal. A ‘Material Collection Drive’ was undertaken across Bharti offices, for collection
of material such as clothes, utensils, footwear, blankets, dry ration and monetary donations. 55
cartons of clothes and 65 kilos of ration were dispatched, in addition to monetary contributions.
Bharti Airtel during Mumbai Floods: Bharti Airtel employees climbed up the towers to restore
the networks so that their customers could conveniently reach its employees.

Welcome Process
Airtel is the leading mobile telecoms company in India, operating across all 23 Indian states.
With the market experiencing explosive growth, they were looking for the right model to help
them develop their business over the next 5-10 years. They had high awareness, but there was no
real sense of "who they were" or what they represented as a brand. So, they moved towards
increasing the customer engagement through their Welcome process.

Welcome Process Model
• First of all a Welcome Visit is made to the new Airtel postpaid customer within 48 hours
of the activation of the connection. Here, he does the credit & address verification of the
customer and also gives him bill plan details, bill explanation, etc.
• In case of need a Welcome call is made.
45 | P a g e
• Based on the information gathered by the Welcome Visit Executive when he visits the
customer’s house, he does a credit rating.
• Welcome visit, Welcome call by the Welcome Executives and the application data
together form the basis of the initial credit rating.
• Thereafter an online activation is done through AOL (Activation Online System) and
also the customers are segmented.
• Based on the segmentation and Initial credit rating, the customers are provided credit
limits and special offers are also given to certain customers. The credit rating and AOL
also helps in Dunning wherein the customers who have involuntarily left Airtel
connections are approached.
So, this is how the whole Welcome Process Model works.

Airtel has long been considered the leading telecom service provider. To remain on top they
were required to understand the mood of the customer through independent research agencies.
47 | P a g e
For capturing customer mood the external agency, IMRB conducts the Customer Satisfaction
Management and Measurement surveys regularly for Airtel.
The framework provides a reliable basis for understanding the determinants of customer loyalty,
and identifying key priorities towards achieving higher levels of customer commitment &
loyalty.
The CSMM scores reflect how good we are to the customer in caring for him, inspiring trust,
innovating for customer benefit and thus taking the role of industry leadership.
The CSMM captures customer mood on the following parameters:

• Sales experience
• Service provisioning (activation of connection)
• Network quality
• Customer Services
• Billing accuracy and timeliness
• Benchmark with Competition
• & above all Welcome visits
CSMM Philosophy:
• Stakeholders are entities that can affect your company either directly or indirectly.
Stakeholder loyalty is derived from the combined effect of customer loyalty, employee
commitment & other stakeholder relationships.
• CSMM believes in engaging with clients in building customer-centric organizations
through enhancing capabilities and competencies within the organizations and thereby
aligning the entire organization to deliver customer delight.
• CSMM takes a holistic look at relationships. The company must manage its internal
stakeholders such as employees, channel members and vendors in order to engender
customer loyalty; this in turn results in business performance and market share.
So, based on this CSMM philosophy Airtel wants to improve its CSMM scores in terms of
the Welcome Visits which can be done by improving customer satisfaction by improving the
performance of the Welcome Visit Executives.
Welcome Visit CSMM scores Of Airtel:

CSMM scores at the present level are CTI-29% & PI-28% which are quite low.
So, key problem area has been defined i.e. Low CSMM scores of Welcome Visits of Airtel.
The reasons behind it may be many:
48 | P a g e
✔ Welcome Visit executive may lack the desired knowledge.
✔ Welcome Visit Executive may not be Polite and courteous with the customer.
✔ Welcome Visit Executive may not be carrying the brand image of Airtel well, etc.
So, questionnaires have been made filled by customers to identify improvement
areas which will help me analyze ways to improve the CSMM scores.
Primary Data
Collection
Through filling of
Questionnaires:-
Questionnaires have been used to gather the desired information from the customer’s. It will
help me measure the customer satisfaction and would thus help in the Welcome Visit CSMM
score improvement. It will give me the desired information on the effectiveness of Welcome
Visits and it will help me analyze the key improvement areas in terms of the Welcome Visit
Executives.
49 | P a g e
Sample size i.e. No. of customers surveyed – 100 (20 from each zone i.e. Amritsar, Chandigarh,
Bathinda, Ludhiana, Jalandhar)
Further, 3 different analysis has been done on the data collected:-
• Analysis through Bar Graphs

• Discriminant Analysis by using SPSS
• Fish Bone Analysis
Note:- Questionnaires have been attached in the annexure(Page No. – 91,92,93)
Analysis through Bar Graphs
50 | P a g e
On the basis of the various questions asked to the postpaid customers to measure their
satisfaction Index with the Welcome Visits, I have got the following figures.
➢ Job Knowledge:-
The following is the region – wise percentage of customers who were given the
information on bill plan, credit limit, first bill explanation, short code education,
etc. by the Welcome Visit Executive.
Chandigarh and Ludhiana Are the Top 2 scorers. Amritsar is the lowest with only
60% customers who were told about the Bill Plan Details.
51 | P a g e
Only 55 % of the Customers of Amritsar and Bathinda were given the knowledge about the
Credit Limit. More %age of customers in Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Jalandhar had the
knowledge about the Credit Limit.
Chandigarh is the Top scorer in terms of providing Short SMS codes education to the customers
while Bathinda and is the lowest with just 40% of the customers having knowledge about it.
Chandigarh is the Top scorer in terms of providing first bill Explanation to the customers while
Amritsar is the lowest with just 40% of the customers having knowledge about it.
52 | P a g e
• The following percentage of customers were told about the respective payment
methods by the Welcome Visit Executive :-
53 | P a g e
Customers of each Zone had the knowledge about this payment method which is very common.
54 | P a g e
Ludhiana customers had the maximum awareness about this payment method. Bathinda had the
lowest with 60% customers aware about this mode of payment.
85 % Customers of Jalandhar are aware of the payment mode i.e. Credit card. Ludhiana and
Chandigarh also have high scores. Amritsar is the least scoring with only 60% customers aware
about it.
55 | P a g e
All zones have low scores with Bathinda the least scoring i.e. 35%. Chandigarh and Ludhiana
have comparatively high scores i.e. 65%.
56 | P a g e
Bathinda is the least scoring with just 40% customers aware of this payment mode and
Chandigarh is the highest scoring with 65% customers aware about this payment mode.
57 | P a g e
Bathinda and Jalandhar are the lowest scoring zone with 50% customers being aware about this
payment mode. Chandigarh is again the highest scoring zone with 80% customers having
awareness about this payment mode.
• Rating of emoloyees on attributes such as politeness, courteousness,

knowledge and presentability :- Customers were asked to rate the executives on a
scale of 1 to 5 on each of the above attributes, 5 being the maximum and 1 being the
minimum score.
For our analysis the Top 2 and Bottom 2 scores are considered, 3 being a neutral rating
has been ignored, that’s how the IMRB does its rating when computing CSMM.
✔ Chandigarh and Ludhiana are top scorers(75%) & Amritsar &

Bathinda score least (60%) in top 2 scores.
✔ In Bottom 2 Amritsar & Bathinda are top scorers with 35%.
58 | P a g e
✔ Ludhiana & Chandigarh are top scorers- 80% & 75% and Amritsar & Bathinda
score least - 55% & 60% in top 2.
✔ In bottom 2 Amritsar & Bhatinda are the top scorers with 30%.
59 | P a g e
✔ Chandigarh and Ludhiana are top scorers(80% & 75 %) and Amritsar and Bathinda
Score least in top 2.

✔ In bottom 2 Amritsar & Bathinda are top scorers with 30%.
✔ Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Jalandhar are top scorers with 85% , 80%and 80% while
Amritsar and Bathinda score least in top 2 i.e. 70%.
✔ In bottom 2 Amritsar and Bathinda are top scorers with 25% & 30%.
• Overall Satisfaction With the Welcome Visit
✔ Chandigarh is top scoring(80%) and Amritsar and bathinda score least in the Top 2
In the Bottom 2 Amritsar & Bhatinda are again on the negative trend being
the Top Scorer with 20%.
60 | P a g e
Analysis by Using SPSS Tool
SPSS is a computer program used for statistical analysis by the market researchers, health
researchers, survey companies, government, education researchers, marketing organizations and
many others. So, it’s a very appropriate tool for our research also. It will help us identify the
various reasons for low CSMM scores Zone Wise and will also give a combined analysis of all
the Zones.
SPSS has been applied on the data collected through the filling of Questionnaires by the
customers.
For analysis, discriminant analysis has been used. Discriminant analysis joins a nominally scaled
criterion or dependent variables with one or more independent variables that are interval or ratio
scaled.
It has a linear function of the form:-
L = b1x1 + b2x2 + … + bnxn + c , where L is the score on the Discriminant function, the b's are
discriminant coefficients, the x's are the input variables or predictors and c is a constant.
Here, the linear function is:-
Satisfaction = f (Discomfort, Payment, Information, Polite, Courteous, Knowledge, Presentable)
Where, Overall Satisfaction is a function of the independent variables i.e. Discomfort due to odd
time calling or visiting of the executive, Payment methods told by the executive, Information
(Miscellaneous) like Bill Plan Details, etc. provided during the Welcome visit and also of the
attributes such as Politeness, Courteousness, Knowledgable and presentablity.
Note:- There are a set of combinations made of the options of different questions in order to
apply SPSS. Same have been explained in the annexure (Page No - 94,95)

Where, D denotes Discomfort, P denotes Payment Methods, I denotes Misc. Information
provided, Po denotes Politeness of the Executive, C denotes Courteousness of the Executive, K
denotes Knowledge of the Executive, Pr denotes Presentability of the Executive.
Findings:-
Group Statistics:-
The total mean of the Group Statistics table has been analyzed and so the
following points can be highlighted.
✔ If we have a look at the Group statistics table, there is a positive point which comes up
that no customer has rated the Overall Satisfaction the lowest i.e. 1.
✔ On a totality basis Combination No. 20 is the mean for payment methods which indicates
that cash, credit card, e-billing and M- cheque are the commonly known payment modes
amongst the customers and rest are not so commonly known.
✔ On a totality basis Combination No. 5 is the mean for information extended to customers
which indicates that the customers were basically given the information on Bill Plan
Details and Short SMS codes. So, adequate information is not provided to the customers.
✔ On a totality basis an average score of 3 have been given to the attributes Politeness,
Courteousness, Knowledge, and Presentability which is a very neutral score.
Canonical Discriminant Function Coefficients:-
✔ Discomfort is negative(-.391).
✔ Payment methods is negative which means adequate information regarding payment
methods has not been provided.
✔ Presentability is positive and maximum (1.334) which is a good sign. Even the rest of the
attributes such politeness, courteousness, information, knowledge, etc. are positive.

Fishbone Analysis
A Problem-Analysis Tool
The above two analysis using the Bar graphs and SPSS is a practical analysis. But to basically know
the lags in the Welcome Visits, we need to go into the intricacies of the various processes in the
Human Resources which are lagging because of which the customer satisfaction from the Welcome
Visits is low.
What is a Fishbone diagram?
Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa, a Japanese quality control statistician, invented the fishbone diagram in the
1960’s. Therefore, it may be referred to as the Ishikawa diagram. Ishikawa in the process became one
of the founding fathers of modern management. The fishbone diagram is an analysis tool that
provides a systematic way of looking at effects and the causes that create or contribute to those
effects. Because of the function of the fishbone diagram, it may be referred to as a cause-and-effect
diagram. The design of the diagram looks much like the skeleton of a fish. Therefore, it is often
referred to as the fishbone diagram.
When should a fishbone diagram be used?
• Need to study a problem/issue to determine the root cause?
• Want to study all the possible reasons why a process is beginning to have difficulties,
problems, or breakdowns?
• Want to study why a process is not performing properly or producing the desired results?
How is a fishbone diagram constructed?
Basic Steps:
1. Draw the fishbone diagram....
2. Label each ""bone" of the "fish". The major categories typically utilized are:
86 | P a g e
 The 4 M’s:
• Methods, Machines, Materials, Manpower
 The 4 P’s:
• Place, Procedure, People, Policies
 The 4 S’s:
• Surroundings, Suppliers, Systems, Skills
The four categories can be combined in any fashion, they are to help organize one’s ideas.
4. Using an idea-generating technique (e.g., brainstorming) to identify the factors within each
category that may be affecting the problem/issue and/or effect being studied. The team should
ask... "What are the machine issues affecting/causing..."
5. Repeating this procedure with each factor under the category to produce sub-factors.
Continue asking, "Why is this happening?" and putting additional segments to each factor
and subsequently under each sub-factor.
6. Continue until you no longer get useful information as you ask, "Why is that happening?"
7. Analyzing the results of the fishbone after team members agree that an adequate amount of
detail has been provided under each major category. Items that appear in more than one
category become the “most likely causes”.
8. For those items identified as the "most likely causes", the team should reach consensus on
listing those items in priority order with the first item being the most probable" cause.

Findings from the Fish Bone Analysis

• Material:-
✔ No Structured InductionTraining Programme for new joinees :- Induction Training
Programme is an important process for bringing staff into an organisation. It provides an
introduction to the working environment and the set-up of the employee within the
89 | P a g e
organisation. The process covers the employer and employee rights and the terms and
conditions of employment.
An induction programme is part of an organisations knowledge management process and
is intended to enable the new starter to become a useful, integrated member of the team,
rather than being "thrown in at the deep end" without understanding how to do their job,
or how their role fits in with the rest of the company.
A good induction programmes can increase productivity and reduce short-term turnover
of staff.
Welcome Visits is such an important task of the company, and in order to make the
Welcome Visit Executives comfortable with the job an induction programme is a must
for them which currently is not there.
• Methods:- The following methods or processes relating to the Welcome Visits are
faulty and needs modification:-
✔ Faulty Recruitment Process:- No proper recruitment process is currently followed.
Following is the current Recruitment process:-
There is no involvement of the Welcome Visit team in the recruitment process which is
really essential to select a right job fit candidate.
✔ No Refresher Training:- Refresher Training is a short term course aimed at recalling and
reinforcement of previously acquired knowledge and skills and also updating knowledge
according to the current scenario.
90 | P a g e
Since the Welcome Visit Executives have a direct contact with the customers,
there is a constant need for them to get updated with the latest plans and all connection
related information.
No such refresher course has been conducted in the company from the past 6
months. So, it is one of the important reasons behind the low CSMM scores.
✔ No Structured Training Programme:- Training is the act of increasing the knowledge
and job skills of the employees. No proper Training Programme has taken place in the
company in the last 6 months. Infact it is the most likely cause of Low CSMM Scores
because of its recurrence in the Fish Bone Analysis under more than one head.
• Manpower:-
✔ Poor Executives Scenario :- Following is the information relating to their age on the
job, work experience, educational background, etc.

Post Graduates
Executives do not have a prior Work Experience and therefore are not able to satisfy the
Graduates
55%
customers well. 66% of the Executives are into 33%
their first job. Senior Secondary
Only 15% of the Executives are working with Airtel for a period more than one year. It
shows high attrition rate among the Executives. The reasons could be many ; low job
satisfaction as they are off roll employees, less scope of growth, etc.
55% of the Executives are Senior Secondary and thus are not exposed to the vagaries of t
he market and thus are not able to yield a high rate of customer satisfaction.
✔ Executives Poor Job Knowledge:- The Job Knowledge of Executives is lacking in
each Zone. However if we check out the rating of the Knowledge attribute, Amritsar
& Bathinda are extremely low with 30% customers rating them 1 & 2 scores and
barely 60% and 65% customers respectively giving them high scores. So, poor job
knowledge is another reason for low CSMM Scores.
✔ Lack Basic Skills:- The executives lack basic soft skills in some of the Zones.
• Measurement:-
✔ No Audit been conducted:- The general definition of an audit is an evaluation of a
person, organization, system, process, project or product. So, audit is really important
to review and regulate the performance of any individual or process. However, there
is no system of Audit for the Welcome Visit Executives at Airtel. There is an urgent
need for the same because of the fact that customers are not fully satisfied with the
Welcome Visits and so Executives who are not good at their performance should be
realised of the fact so that they can improve their performance accordingly.
92 | P a g e
Recommendations
• New Recruitment Process :-
Currently the interview is conducted just by the HR department, however it is

recommended that the Welcome Visit team should also be a part of the recruitment
process because they are in a better position to recruit an Executive as they know the job
needs of an Executive better.
So, all this would help the organization to select a right job fit Welcome Visit Executive.
• 3 day’s Training Programme/ Induction Training programme:-
1st Day:
Job Knowledge should be given to the executives on the first day. A detailed explanation
of the various bill plans, schemes, modes of payment etc. should be given to them.
Airtel product-Help Book should be explained to them.
The Airtel executives should fill the Job Knowledge Questionnaire towards the start and
end of the program which would reflect the level of knowledge gained and it will also
give an overview of the effectiveness of the program.It is explained further in detail.
Note:- While imparting training to the executives on job knowledge following lacking
areas of each zone should be kept in mind by the trainer so that the Welcome Visit
CSMM scores improve:-
93 | P a g e
✔ Amritsar:- Welcome Visit Executives have less job knowledge as compared to
other zones in terms of the results of the analysis. So they need to be given an
Exhaustive training session in the job knowledge.
✔ Chandigarh:- Chandigarh is highest scoring with good scores but still
discriminant analysis shows a scope for improvement.
✔ Bathinda:- Even Welcome Visit Executives of Bathinda have less job knowledge
as compared to other zones in terms of the results of the analysis. So they need to
be given an Exhaustive training session in the job knowledge.
✔ Ludhiana:-Ludhiana has average scores and hence a fairly good amount of
improvement is needed as regards information delivery to the customers is
concerned.
✔ Jalandhar:- Even Jalandhar just like Ludhiana has average scores and hence a
fairly good amount of improvement is needed as regards information delivery to
the customers is concerned.
So, training programmes can be so moduled as to suit the specific needs of each
Zone.
A special point can be highlighted here that as regards payment methods are concerned,
M- cheque is a payment mode which maximum of the customers across all the zones are
not aware of. So, this payment mode should specially be highlighted in all the training
programmes.
2nd Day:
First Half - Soft skills Training should be given to the Executives to improve the
behavior & outlook of executives, Communication, etc. They should be given tips on
Grooming, Personal hygiene, Dressing, Body Language, Greeting the customer, etc,
Business Etiquettes - Do’s & Don’ts.
Second Half - In the second half a Senior executive should take over the program who
should enlighten the executives with his experiences of Welcome Visit and case studies
can also be taken up.
Role Plays should also be conducted based on learnings from the field & case study.
94 | P a g e
Note:- While imparting training to the executives on soft skills following lacking areas of
each zone should be kept in mind by the trainer so that the Welcome Visit CSMM scores
improve:-
✔ Amritsar:- Customers here are having a discomfort due to calling and visits at
odd times along with the Verification which they carry out from neighbours, etc.
So, this basic thing should be told to the Executive that they should not cause
discomfort to the customer in any way. Amritsar Zone executives also need a
training in soft skills as it is a zone which is having low scores in politeness,
courteousness and presentability.
✔ Chandigarh:- Discomfort due to the Executive’s calling or visiting at odd hours is
not an issue in this zone. Otherwise also its top scoring in the attributes such as
politeness, courteousnessand presentability.
✔ Bathinda:- Customers are not as much discomfortable but they are to some extent
mainly from two reasons only i.e. calling and visiting at odd hours. So, some sort
of cautiousness should be recommended to such Executives. Even Bathinda zone
Executive’s like that of the Amritsar Zone need a training in soft skills as these
are the zone which are having low scores in politeness, courteousness and
presentability.
✔ Ludhiana:- Customers are not as much discomfortable but they are to some
extent mainly from two reasons only i.e. calling and visiting at odd hours. So,
some sort of cautiousness should be recommended to such Executives.
Otherwise, its top scoring in the attributes such as politeness, courteousness and
presentability.
✔ Jalandhar:- Customers are not as much discomfortable but they are to some
extent mainly from two reasons only i.e. calling and visiting at odd hours. So,
some sort of cautiousness should be recommended to such Executives. Jalandhar
executives lack a bit of courtesy and politeness, so they need to be specially
taught to be polite and courteous with customers.
3rd Day:
Field visits in the respective zones can be observed by a senior on the last day of the
induction training programme. Along with that their doubts can be clarified while on
field visits.
95 | P a g e
The training module should be conducted separately for all the zones or some zones can
be combined due to the reason that there are separate Job knowledge, Information needs,
and a different level of Soft skills which are reflected from the figures of the discriminant
analysis carried out and also by the frequencies shown by the Bar Graphs.
Training can be conducted in the following ways:-
✔ Amritsar and Bathinda are almost lacking similar attributes. So, a combined
training programme can be conducted for them.
✔ Ludhiana and Jalandhar are almost lacking similar attributes. So, a combined
training programme can be conducted for them.
✔ Chandigarh executive’s are the top scorers in each attribute and hence there can
be a separate training programme for them which would help them excel.
This training module can be used as an independent training module/ as an induction module as
well. If it is used as an Induction Module, then along with the Job knowledge given on the first
day, the executive will also be given a brief about the Bharti Culture and Values.
• Conducting Refresher Training Programmes:- Refresher training should be

conducted at least once in 6 months to update the Executive with the changes taking
place in say, bill plans, etc. A session to recall their already acquired knowledge should
also be a part of such refresher training.
• Job Knowledge Questionnaire:- A Job Knowledge Questionnaire can be used as a

tool to assess the knowledge of the Executive in his job before taking the training
programme and after he has took the Training Programme.
A job knowledge Questionnaire basically consists of a set of Multiple choice questions
which need to be answered by the Executive and would help the organization in many
ways
✔ Firstly, the comparative scores of the Questionnaire would help the organization to know
whether the training module was effective in providing the desired knowledge to the
96 | P a g e
Executive. If not improvisations in the module can be made.
For instance:-If the score of the JKQ was 5/10 on an average before the training i.e. out
of a set of 10 questions were asked, 5 on an average were correct and after the training
programme the score has improved to say 8/10, we can say the training programme
module was effective and if the scores are reduced, accordingly the module can be
modified.
✔ By having a look at the filled questionnaires, the trainer will know what kind of
knowledge needs to be extended during the course of the training. Post training results
also helps us analyse the areas in which the knowledge needs to be enhanced.
✔ This will make the executives confident about their knowledge.
✔ JKQ as a basis of recognition:- The candidates with good JKQ results can be rewarded.
This will give them a motivation to learn.
So effectiveness of Trainings can be analyzed in a very inexpensive manner.
Note:- A copy of the JKQ has been attached in the Annexure(Page No. – 96,97)
• Conducting Field Audits:- Field Audits can be conducted to evaluate the

performance of the Welcome Visit Executives. For this a Field Audit form has been
devised which can be made filled by the supervisor of the customer from some of the
selected customers he has visited. It’s a kind of a check list which would enable the
supervisor to know about the performance of the Executive and accordingly he can
motivate him to work better.
Note:- A copy of the Field Audit form has been attached in the Annexure(Page No. - 98).
• Rewards and Recognition:- Since the Welcome Visit Executives are off roll
employees of the company, there is no policy as regards providing them with certain
incentives.
But some system of rewards should be there for such Executives. They are a cadre
of low level employees who will be highly motivated with such an initiative of the HR
department. A reward of whatsoever amount according to the company budget would
bring a sense of recognition for the Executives. Scores of the Job knowledge
Questionnaire can become the basis of the reward.
97 | P a g e
Implementation
• Conduct of Training Programme:- The recommendation of the Training

programme above was implemented in the company during the course of my Summer
Internship Programme. Since, recession has hit the economy and each company is
moving towards cost cutting, so implementing a 3 day programme without the surety of
success would have been a stake. So it was undertaken at a small level on an
experimental basis.
98 | P a g e
A one day training programme was conducted by the trainers of the Bharti
Learning Systems. Bharti Learning Systems Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Bharti Enterprises, is a premier end-to-end learning and development solutions
organization that specializes in the customer experience arena. It provides learning
solutions that impact business performance through enhanced employee productivity,
customer profitability and effective talent transformation.
Was the Training Programme a success ??
As mentioned above in the recommendations, before and after the Training Programme is
conducted , a Job Knowledge Questionnaire (JKQ) needs to be filled from the Welcome Visit
executive and so a JKQ was made filled by the participants of the Training Programme. The
Training Programme was a success as the results of Job Knowledge Questionnaire showed.
99 | P a g e
• No of executives scoring 9 & above before training -2 (16.67% of the total respondents)
• No of executives scoring 9 & above Post training - 9 (75% of the total respondents)
Thus an improvement of
21%
Learnings From the Summer Internship Programme
The 14 weeks of Summer Internship has been a great learning experience for me. I got to meet
many people from different backgrounds while working in the company and also during the
course of my study which was a great experience for me all together. I learnt a lot from the study
which I undertook at Airtel. Besides the study, I have seen and experienced the various HR
practices at AIRTEL. Trainings happening at Airtel have given me an insight into the Trainings
and Development practically happening in the telecom sector. I had an opportunity to practically
see what all activities take place in the Human Resources Department. I have learnt about the
various employee engagement activities like conducting Health camps, Events, celebrations of
festivals, etc. which provides Joy to employees at the workplace itself. As an Intern in Human
Resources I learnt that corporates today cannot sustain until and unless they have a strong base
of policies which allure employees. So, I got to know a lot about the Rewards and Recognition
Policies, Deferred Bonus policies, Retention Policies etc. which Airtel is incorporated with. The
creativity in Human Resources Department at Airtel is at its peak. So, as a trainee I got to
enhance my creative skills as well.
Indeed, I would say each day was a new learning experience for me which I would remember
throughout my life.
