Consignia Lack of Motivation Workers Moral Is Low Management Is Ineffiecent Expensive 28p To Deliver Changed Its Name To Consignia the Use of Millions of Elastic Bands Consignia Owns- Royal Mail, Post Office, and Parcelforce

IT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT SOCIAL ROLE. DELIVER ALL OVVER THE UK AT A UNIFORM PRICE.

CONSIGNIA IS A PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT . IT HAS ABOUT 220,000 EMPLOYEES. PROVIDING SERVICES TO MEET NEW DEMANDS E.G- FROM ELECTRONIC BILLING TO BANKING FROM WAREHOUSING TO CUSTOMER RETURNS.

THE NAME OF THE HOLDING COMPANY’S CHANGED THAT IS THE POST OFFICE GROUP BEACME CONSIGNIA!!!

ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE CHANGE WAS:

THE POST OFFICE IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY TO THE UK – LOTS OF OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE THEIR OWN ‘POST OFFICES’. THE POST OFFICE NAME WOULKD BE CONFUSING ABROAD ANND IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO PROTECT!!!

THERE IS A LOT OF CONFUSION AMONGST CUSTOMERS BETWEEN CORPORATE NAME THE POST OFFICE AND OUR BRANCH NETWORK ‘POST OFFICE’!!!

The interview which we saw in our business class clearly said that just because the name has changed doesn’t mean that our services will be any different than they were!!! It also said that the price will not come down just because they are facing competition from other post offices….!1

They also said that yes we do use millions of elastic bands but not all of them can be re-used because we lose track of them…but a majority of elastic bands are re-used!!!!
