Task 3 a

Meetings
Each week or month all members of staff meet on meeting to discuss about issues at work. They discuss about company progress .They are talking about how to make things better. Members of staff can give new ideas about how to make work better.
Telephone monitoring
For example, employers may monitor calls with clients or customers for reasons of quality control
Video monitoring
Video monitoring is a commonplace method of deterring theft, maintaining security and monitoring employees.
Task 3 b
Evaluating customer service are comment/suggestion cards But the main reasons why companies monitor and evaluate customer service is to get feedback so they can improve on the things that didn't go right at first. Comment book-visitors or customers write down comments about customer service how good or bad it was. They write down what they like or not. Web site-When you visiting companies web sites you can leave there your comments about the company. When the company gets feedback from customers, like comments or any complaint letters this will help them identify where the problem is coming from and what they need to do to make it better. Like in Butlins after visiting this place many of visitors leave their comments in comment or suggestion book where they say what was good and what wasn’t right.
Task 4
The first of the improvement in New look can be take some person to work who can speak different languages not just English .Because at the moment are many people from different countries who shopping in stores like New look and sometimes the customers have questions about the clothes but the they don’t know how to ask because can’t speak any English .Sometimes if customers can’t ask they just leave store and don’t buy anything. This can be big plus if inn store could work one person who can speak in couple of foreign languages.
The second of the improvements is knowledgeable of the clothes that store is providing. Sometimes you came in store and ask for a help an assistant and when you asking about pair of jeans or about some different clothes assistant just look at you and don’t know what to answer and ask somebody else from shop to help you. I think it is very important to check staff for knowledgeable of products that they sale.
The third of the improvements is to control sales assistants that working on till. Sometime sales assistants that work on till without any reason talking to long time with the customers who are friends or family. Many people must stay for ages in queue. I think that store manager must control this and make some rules for staff who working on till.
Task 5
New look and Butlins
Monitoring and evaluating are very important to improve service for customers and employees. The customers will be treat better, because staff members will know what mistakes they have did in the past and staff members will work to not to repeat same mistakes again.
For example the young lady have bought a shoes when she came home she sow that both shoes are different sizes. She came back to shop very angry because she lives far away from shop she was driving about one hour to change shoes.
She put some comments in to the book and after this situation manager has spoken with members of staff that they must carefully check shoes sizes every time when sale those.
For example parents with young baby came in to Butlins camp for holidays; they have ordered the room for couple and young baby. But when they came in to the room they saw there just one bed. Parents went to reception to find out that this room isn’t that room that they ordered. But the lady on the reception desk tells to them that this isn’t her problem and she doesn’t know what to do. Manager saw everything on camera and came in to reception to sort out the problem. After this situation was the meeting where manager tells to everyone that they must be very nice and friendly to customers or if they don’t know how to help then must to call for manager to ask for advice.
Monitoring and evaluating are very important for organisation and employees. Organisation will progress and will have more incomes. It is very important every day look after staff and see how they contact with customers. It is important to check staff. For example lady call to shop to find out about the refunds and exchanges in shop but the sales assistant who was on phone was very rude .If company don’t control phone calls company can lose customers. That way it is very important to recording phone calls and to make best quality of customer service.
