Alexandra has been employed by the organisation Star Software Inc. since leaving university. Star Software Inc. is a medium-sized organisation that provides software products and solutions to a vast number of business and residential customers. Her career has been quite successful.
Since joining the organisation as a customer service officer, she has progressed through the ranks of the organisation and was promoted to her first frontline management role 18 months ago. The organisation has staff in a number of locations around the greater metropolitan area. Recently, senior management decided to close locations (one in Soundsville and Tribecca Lakes) and relocate the staff to a more central location (Melbourne) where they will join an existing work team.
Alexandra has been asked to manage the newly established team at the Melbourne location. This frontline management role will include responsibility for managing the transition of staff from their existing location to the new location and will involve a significant amount of high-level customer contact.
The role of the customer service team is mostly to answer troubleshooting queries relating to how to use the software. They also handle general sales enquiries as well as deal with complaints and various forms of feedback. The team’s most common modes of communication are via phone and email.
In addition to moving to her new location, Star Software has revised its vision, mission and code of practice and has asked Alexandra to use these with her team members when conducting their work (located in the Appendix).
Alexandra’s senior manager has advised her that she may expect some problems with staff. Apart from the usual apprehension that would be expected when staff are changing their work teams, work practices and location, there has also been some discontent on the part of existing team members who thought they would be promoted to the newly created frontline management role. These members of staff are unhappy that Alexandra has been transferred to the position rather than an existing team member being promoted.
