Hence Yakka should have take a better step by talking with employees. Supervisor and managers to try identify what kind of problem they are going through to serve the customer.
Another symptom that shows something went wrong was, due to lack of communication between management and employees of different division. Where employees felt they had to do what they were employed for. Same time they had to listen to number for frustrated customers and job was becoming monotonus. At this stage there should have been some role from management to step in have a meeting with employees make them cheer up and assure them to make some flexible way of working. Due to lack of such approach, despite the pay rate was increased the customer were still not satisfied and employees were working just for the sake of high payment.
These were some of the symptoms that suggest something has gone wrong in Yakk tech Pty. Ltd.
2. What are the main causes of these symptoms?
2.1 Customer complains regarding poor quality service.
Unhappy customers are bad news for any company. Every single complaint from a client is a manifestation of dissatisfaction because of poor quality service. Customer complains should be considered as a major factor as it will serve as a feed back of the company IT systems infrastructure(managing customer complains). Yakka Tech’s customer service business has doubled over the past five years yet the management was not focused towards the existing
The customer service personnel should be in a position to acknowledge their clients and pay attention well to whatever they say and put into practice active listening.

• Weed out poor managers. Dissatisfied workers dislike poor management. Act quickly to preserve your credibility in the workforce. Remember the law of procrastination. “No matter how long you ignore a problem employee, his or her behaviour will not improve-act now!”
For starters there are no well-drawn management plans within the firm. A leading example is the fact that Chinh and Anh have no well spelt out roles within the firm. It is apparent by the fact that the two have in fact just assumed roles in accordance to what over time become their roles and interests within the organisation. This leads to lapsing of duties and lack of clear guidelines as to the course of action in case of any eventuality as is the case here. Any developments within the business have become unmonitored and where there is failure, there is no one mandated to take up responsibility to detect and act accordingly.
Complaints also tell you that the customer still wants to do business with you —Most customers don’t complain — they just take their business elsewhere, because they’ve given up hope of getting what they need from you.
