The company does not currently have a customer service strategy. As part of the
current strategic planning process and overall drive to achieve excellence within the
company you, as the Operations Manager (responsible for a team of staff including
call centre operators and the cleaning team), have been tasked with the
responsibility to develop a customer service strategy and a customer service
charter that aligns with the company’s strategic plan mission, vision and objectives.
All customer services strategies need to be implemented during upcoming year and
a priority assigned.
The management team has developed a key principle on which the customer
service strategy is to be based:
We listen to our customers, understand their needs and deliver services to
meet these needs.
The management team has advised that all strategies must come from that
principle and that strategies must also address (but not be limited to) the following
key areas:
Staff training: currently staff are not trained in customer service
Customer feedback mechanisms: there are no formal mechanisms in place for
customers to provide feedback
Quality and consistency of service provided: while the company does not
receive many complaints, most of them relate to customers being unhappy
with the level or detail of cleaning provided. A quality assurance mechanism
needs to be in place to be able to check that the cleaning completed will be
satisfactory to the customer. This is currently not in place.
Development of a customer service charter: the company wants to tell
customers about what they can expect, how they can provide feedback and
the complaints process.
Use the Internet to find out about legislation and regulations that the company
needs to abide by in its delivery of services and ensure that this information is
incorporated into the development of customer service strategies.
In step 4 you will need to provide an overview of the legislative and regulatory
context at the meeting with staff so ensure you make notes to guide your delivery of
the information to staff.
Use the Internet to find examples of customer service strategies developed by other
companies. Make notes on your findings.
Using secondary sources of information, research, identify, investigate and assess
likely key customer needs in relation to cleaning services, including as a minimum
quality of service, cost of service and response times from booking of service to
completion.
Your report should be between half a page and one page in length.
indicators. Make sure you consider the organisation’s mission, vision, values and
objectives when developing the strategy.
Use the Customer Service Strategy Template to guide your work.
You will modify this document following a meeting with the Management Team (at
step 4), so save this version as Draft Customer Service Strategy.
At the meeting you will discuss and confirm the customer service strategy with the
General Manager (your assessor).
At the meeting, you will be required to:
Explain each of the strategies and actions in the new customer service
strategy
Explain how strategies and actions will assist in achieving the key customer
service principles, as well as strategic mission, vision and objectives.
Explain how your plans achieve the quality, time and cost specifications that
the company has agreed to uphold for customers.
During the meeting, demonstrate effective communication skills including:
Your assessor (in the role of the General Manager) will provide you with feedback
on your strategy, which you will incorporate into the document.
Following the meeting, incorporate your General Manager’s feedback into your
customer service strategy.
Save this draft of the document as Revised Customer Service Strategy.
Ensure that you have an overall folder for your work for this unit, as well as sub

All of the documents that you have submitted for this assessment task should be
