Change management
This project was developed for a company of South African origin within the scope of its leadership strategy in the Angolan market, with the main objective of developing the skills of those targeted and having an effective management of teams and had the support of LBC.
In 2009 the company was undergoing a restructuring process that involved change management at all levels. In the case of customer service supervisors, training and support were needed so that their performance would fit in with the company's new requirements, and so that they could then train other staff themselves. The training aimed to overcome issues of discipline and relationships; enhance the ability to lead, mobilize and hold teams accountable for results, managing conflicts; develop management skills, such as the difficulty in planning and fulfilling shifts, inducing commitment and responsibility and reporting service activity; and also the definition of the different roles played (the supervisors had not been formally appointed, with some lack of definition of responsibility and commitment). The central objective was to reinforce technical and team management skills and abilities. Additionally, each trainee had an individual development plan.
Training
The training – which lasted five weeks, in an eight-week project, and with follow-up over six months – managed to promote and standardize procedural improvements, train/endow customer service supervisors with the means to better coordinate teams, increase the flow of communication and understanding between management and customer service, as well as providing supervisors with skills for effective management of Human Resources in different conditions (eg design and management of rosters, launch of a new service or campaign) .
