We really need to develop a Continuous Improvement Plan. Can you please look at producing this for me?

In case you haven't got a copy of the minutes here is the list:

  • Slow responses to some posts and questions on our Facebook page by customers - seems to be a bit of an issue over the weekend and after-hours - is this what we want?
  • Customer accounts officers find it very slow to search for customer information and can't access the information when they are out on the road meaning they have to call someone in the office to look up info for them. Seems like only one person can access the customers' file at a time as well.
  • A few complaints from customers about the attitude of some of the staff they have dealt with have come through. This seems to be since we recruited our last batch of contact officers.
  • A few errors were detected within the marketing materials for our last conference. This carried over to changes made to our website which then showed incorrect information -
  1. embarrassing! Customer accounts officers had to deal with the follow-up.
  • Payroll reported that they are a bit stressed due to deadlines. Does everyone know what the requirements are for getting their timesheets in on time and how is that communicated to everyone? What could we change to lessen the load on the payroll staff?
