Sub: New Policy for Increasing Customer Satisfaction
Dear Team,

Greetings for the day.

This communication comes as the management has been consistently taking initiatives to increase customer satisfaction levels. Our company has been
known for the quality of training we provide and our customer satisfaction levels have always been high.

The last quarter customer satisfaction has dropped from 82.3% to 68.1% and one of the major contribution in the drop, according to more than 1,000
customers who were surveyed is the use of personal phones by employees during working time. There are many reported instances where the wait time of
customers increased by whopping 10 times.

The management has framed a policy for all to keep their mobile phones in safe lockers at the reception with effect from November 1, 2020.

We also understand that it may cause some inconvenience to many. Here are some of the highlights:
• Team members can access their phones during lunch time
• You are free to share the reception desk number with your near and dear ones
• The company takes full responsibility of taking full care of your mobile phones and privacy.

You have contributed a lot in the growth of the organization and we are sure you will co-operate with this new policy.

In case you have any questions, feel free to speak with your manager.

Regards,
Asif Khan
