(Sainsbury’s, 2015). They state that their “values and ethos have never changed” (Sainsbury’s, 2015) however they are aware that the retail industry has changed over the years therefore they created a new strategy to continue to be known for excellent customer service and to evolve their organisation so that they can continue to provide for their customers by being able to satisfy the customers needs with regards to “what customers want, when, where and how they want it”.

...which evaluates the customer care strategy of an organisation of my choice. I have chosen British Telecom better known as BT, the world’s oldest communications company. I have chosen this as my organisation because they are such a high profile company in the communications industry with a lot more experience than their competitors and there for, potential customers naturally expect a high standard of products and services from a provider like this. This choice of organisation was also based on the fact that I used to work for BT. Although I was trained to believe that BT offered high quality products and services at a reasonable price and most of all a high standard of customer service compared to its competitors, these first impressions were soon forgotten after dealing with customers directly as many were not happy with the providers customer service and most of all communication skills ironically. BT has a mission statement supporting the high quality service they claim to provide to their customers and that is "connecting your world, completely". The meaning behind this statement according to bt.com is “Our mission revolves around a total dedication to the quality of service and experience our customers receive from us: BT Retail is a customer-centric distribution business that will grow shareholder value and deliver an excellent, continuously improving, customer experience. We will provide differentiated solutions and a tailored service to our customers, build new routes...

...10 Higher satisfaction at lower costs: Digitizing customer care By: Francesco Banfi /// Boris Gbahoué /// Jeremy Schneider RECALL No.22 – Digital marketing Higher satisfaction at lower costs: Digitizing customer care 11 Does it make a difference whether telecoms players handle customer interactions online or via traditional channels? The answer may surprise you. Handling customer issues online might seem like a simple incremental addition to traditional call centers and retail stores, but McKinsey research shows that, done well, it can represent a paradigm shift in customer satisfaction. Digital customer care (“eCare”) responds to consumer demand for easily accessible, highly rewarding multichannel interactions. In one example of many, one leading mobile operator employed eCare initiatives to reduce their total call center volume by 20 percent in just eight months, lowering costs significantly while elevating their net promoter score (NPS). McKinsey conducted its first eCare consumer survey in the second quarter of 2012 to more fully explore eCare dynamics. The survey addressed 2,000 respondents in France – customers of the main telecoms operators in that country. Its key focus was on understanding the differences in customer service between digital and traditional channels for telcos and on identifying roadblocks to adopting digital channels. Why digital channels matter The advent of digital channels has changed the way consumers communicate...

Monitoring calls helps to improve customer experience, up hold value, and uphold loyalty to the customer. Monitoring helps identify what is going right from wrong, what can be improved, help the callers, and improve efficiency.

There are two types of methods in order to monitor calls first live and second recorded calls. Over the years, many companies have switched from live calls to recorded calls in order to save supervisors and management time. Now evaluating the call center many companies seek professionalism, friendliness, call control, attention, honesty, and overall employee satisfaction. Evaluations help maintain order, goals, performance, and department need in line using scorecards, performance indicators, measuring calls, reporting, and feedback. Appropriate metrics are placed in order to measure service, measure quality, and how efficient the company is.

...word. However it has a variety of interpretations and uses, and there are many definitions. For example when searched on the internet it produces ISO 8402-1986 standards defining Quality asthe totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs." BusinessDictionary.com (2013)Many people today claim they understand what is meant by quality and claim they know quality when they see it. In fact quality is a very difficult concept to grasp or understand and many experts have spent many years in defining quality and improving quality in their products and services and they believe there is always room for improvement. However the simplest way of explaining it is ‘meeting customer requirements’ Oakland J. S (1996). We have to therefore look at quality as something good and worth having. To examine quality and how it improves the organisation, we must explore the theorists and their findings. Quality Management was first introduced by the Father of Scientific Management Fredrick Taylor. Until the late 19th century there were little or no principles or theories for management. A manager was of superior importance who told the workers what they wanted done; the worker then went about his duty with little or no training, no motivation and little pay. Everything up until now was made in one unit form, usually from start to finish by the one person (craftsmen). ). From the late 1800’s the Industrial Revolution took...

...Unit 22: Q1) explain with examples from the case above whether a duty of care existed between the businesses mentioned and their victims. A1) there were some duty of care between the bread business and the customer. The premier foods spokesman said, “We apologise profusely for the distress caused as a result of the isolated incident.” They also said, “as soon as this complaint was made we stopped all bakery production at that site and appointed an independent specialist contractor to conduct thorough investigation.” This shows us that there is a duty of care between the business and the customer as they understand the mistake they have made and investigated further into the premises where the bread was made. Ronald Lim, also the owner of a Chinese restaurant almost served a sweet and sour sauce which had a mouse in the bowl and had been fined £30,000. This shows that the duty of care on the customers of the Chinese restaurant was not shown. Q2) explain with evidence which suggests that the duty of care owed by these businesses were breached? A2) the evidence which shows that the duty of care was breached by these businesses are that they failed to proceed with any quality checks on their products. If their checks had been completed thoroughly there would not have been bread or sweet and sour sauce with mouse’s in it. If this had also been completed the two businesses wouldn’t have found themselves in this situation of paying fines and affecting their reputation. Q3) were...
