The feedback collection boxes installed at the reception of our hotels do not really serve their real purpose. As these boxes are in plain sight, many customers do not feel comfortable depositing the feedback forms in front of the hotel staff. Moreover, the hotel staff can easily access and destroy the feedback form deposited by a guest who intends to report a negative experience. Accordingly, the hotel should make individual phone calls to guests after they have completed their stay, giving them a fair opportunity to express their real experience of staying at the hotel.
Which of the following would it be most important to consider while evaluating the new proposed method of obtaining feedback?
a) Whether the staff at the hotels will be under pressure to provide better service, fearing that they may be reported in the feedback call
b) Whether the proposed feedback mechanism has been successful for other hotels catering to the same kind of customers
c) Whether there will be any cost implications for the hotels of executing the proposed change in the feedback mechanism
d) Whether there will be any significant increase in the number of guests due to the proposed way in the feedback mechanism
e) Whether the feedback calls will be conducted by the staff of the hotel that the guest will have stayed in
argument says that the feedback by customers will not have its intended effect since
1. feedback counter is provided at reception,where the hotel staff are present continuously
2. such feedback will/can be first evaluated by staff member in reception at first
3. feedback will be self judged by staff member in reception and can be destroyed if feedback not in favour of staff services,before reaching to concerned dept of hotel.
Solution:- On call feedback procedure.
Evaluating above will give an option which strengthens at one end and weakens on another.
i.e we have to find option/generic alternate solution which will keep staff members away from feedback before it reaches concerned team,to strengthen conclusion and vice versa ,where we find no solution as to weaken the conclusion
a) Whether the staff at the hotels will be under pressure to provide better service, fearing that they may be reported in the feedback call
this option does not help resolve the issue .since if feedback still accessible to staff member then services have no impact...INCORRECTb) Whether the proposed feedback mechanism has been successful for other hotels catering to the same kind of customers...
Other hotels mechanism is out of scenario...INCORRECTc) Whether there will be any cost implications for the hotels of executing the proposed change in the feedback mechanism...
Cost of implementation is not a matter of concern discussed in argument...INCORRECTd) Whether there will be any significant increase in the number of guests due to the proposed way in the feedback mechanism.
Increase in no. of guests will not change/impact feedback mechanism...INCORRECTe) Whether the feedback calls will be conducted by the staff of the hotel that the guest will have stayed in.
YES:- if calls are still attended by staff member ,there are chances that staff will report feedback further in their favour,thus weakening the conclusion
NO:- if calls are not attended by staff member in reception but by concerned dept. then feedback has its intended effect. Strengthens
