Assessment Task 2 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

Ozhouse Clean is a cleaning services company based in Melbourne. The company offers professional,
residential cleaning services, including regular home cleans, as well as spring cleans.

The company’s mission, vision and values as follows:

Mission
Ozhouse Clean is committed to providing the highest quality residential and commercial cleaning services
available by exceeding the expectations of our clients.

Vision
We are constantly working to establish ourselves as the most respected and sought-after contract cleaning
and facilities support service in Melbourne.

Values
Respect: taking time to understand and value each of our customers and respecting their choices.
Responsibility: acting with integrity towards our staff, our customers, the community and the environment.
Caring: a duty of care for our staff, customers and the environment.
Excellence: to always look to provide the best quality experience with regards to our cleaning and our
customer service.
Integrity: to act with honesty, openness and do what we say we will do.
Innovation: to be industry leaders.

Objectives
Our key objectives and that are fundamental to our business in delivering world-class cleaning and
customer service, are as follows:
 Provide our customers with a professional and friendly service.
 To increase the number of clients by 10% each year.
 Meet or exceed the expectations of customers.
 Implement best practice in cleaning operations, including environmentally sustainable practices.

Currently 70% of the company’s customers are residential customers. Most of these customers are full-time
workers, needing cleaning services because of their busy lifestyle. Most customers use regular cleaning
services (either once a week or twice a week for 3 – 4 hours).

The company also has a small number of commercial contracts for cleaning. Generally, these involve
cleaning staff going in each evening for 2 hours to clean the office.

Regular services are priced at $35 per hour and the market is very sensitive to price and quality of service
delivered.

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 customer, 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.

Complete the following activities:

1. Write a regulations report.


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.

You will also 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 and identify likely key customer needs in
relation to cleaning services, including as a minimum quality of service, cost of service,
response times from booking of service to completion and so on.

Your report should be between half a page and one-page long.

2. Develop a customer service strategy
Research options for customer service strategies and customer needs

The customer service strategy should clearly reflect the customer needs you have identified and
show how these needs will be satisfied through the service provided. The strategy should also
document specific actions, priority and performance indicators.

Use the Customer Service Strategy Template to guide your work.

You will modify this document following a meeting with the Management Team, so save this
version as Draft Customer Service Strategy.

3. Submit regulations report and customer service strategy to the management team (your
assessor).

4. Meet with the Management Team

 Explain the importance of customer service, as well as legislation and regulations key to
customer service
 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:

 Asking questions to identify required information
 Responding to questions as required
 Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding

Your assessor (in the role of the General Manager) will provide you with feedback on your
strategy, which you will incorporate into the document in.
5. Revise your customer service strategy.
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.

6. Take a screen shot of your folder and files.


Ensure that you have an overall folder for your work for this unit, as well as sub folders if

Last October, Ozhouse Clean signed up to a number of group buying website to increase the demand for its
services. There has been a marked increase in customers, but there has also been a significantly increased
number of complaints.

The following complaints have been logged in the complaints register since signing up to the group buying
web site as follows:
 Three customers have recently called to redeem their voucher. Customer service officers have
checked the vouchers and found that they are out of date. Customer service officers have therefore
advised customers that as the vouchers are out of date, and they are no longer able to redeem
them. Two of the customers have complained to the Department of Fair Trading that they are
unable to redeem the services paid for. Note that the company’s refund policy on their web site does
not refer to refunds in relation to vouchers.
 Two customers have complained that they had to wait too long to redeem their vouchers for an
introductory clean. This is because in signing up to group buying the demand for services resulted in
delays.
 A customer called to complain that they had called to book an introductory clean, but ware told that
that the voucher only covered one free hour of cleaning and they would have to pay the full amount,
requiring the customer to pay an additional $70.

As Operations Manager, you have been asked to investigate and report on these complex complaints, as it
appears that the company had not investigated these situations prior to signing up with the group buying
web site.

Complete the following activities:

1. Write a complex complaint briefing report.


Your investigation should include an analysis of the legal situation, example cases and
recommendations for how to avoid this situation in the future.

Your briefing report should address:


a. Summary of the issues
b. Analysis of relevant legislation.
c. Issues with use of group buying web sites for businesses, including benefits and pitfalls.
d. Recommendations for actions, including response to the customers, as well as
recommendations that can be adopted internally to avoid this situation reoccurring.
