Ministry of Health has a specific division in order to carry out the training programmes
for the employees. Under the supervision of the Deputy Director General of the Human
Resource Department of Ministry of Health, there is a Training Division, which again has a
specific Assistant Director to analyze and to evaluate the effectiveness of the training processes
carried out. But in this assignment, I am going to discuss about a training programme conducted
the Administration Division of the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Training
Division.
2.1 ANALYSIS PHASE
main objective in establishing a needs analysis is to find out the answers to the following
questions:
Why is training needed?
What type of training is needed?
When is the training needed?
Where is the training needed?
Who needs the training? And "Who" will conduct the training?
How will the training be performed?
In order to decide on the type of the training programme needed for the employees,
Administration Division did an analysis of the whole organization. During this analysis,
Administration Division did a survey on the employees regarding their problems and issues.

Furthermore, they did a survey on the customers with regarding the customer service and the
employees behaviors and attitude towards the customers during their phone conversations, as
well as when dealing with the customers directly. And inorder to improve the customer service
provided by the employees, Administration Division decided to conduct a Customer service
training programme for the employees who are supposed to deal directly with the employees
directly either by phone conversation or face-to-face, on a daily basis. This is mainly due to
improve the service provided by the organization and to satisfy the customers with their needs.
And also, the Ministry has many employees (working as Administrative Officers) who does
not have any training regarding Customer Service, who actually are A level completed people.
Another reason why the Administration Division decided to conduct a Customer Service
training is inorder to give necessary training on Customer Service and to improve the skills of
those employees.
Customer service provided by an organization reflects directly on the organization.
Meaning to say that, when a customer comes to an organization to clarify some information,
and say if the person to provide that information answered to his questions in a bad manner or
perhaps in a boring mood, the customer will not be satisfied. In fact, he will be thinking that
the organization does not take any necessary steps in satisfying the customer needs.
2.2 DESIGNING PHASE
Now that a type of a training programme needed, target group, where to conduct the
training, and who is going to perform the training was decided, the next step was to develop
the training manuals and the training programme as a whole.

During this step the organization mainly decides the objectives of the training, prepare
the training plan and the materials needed for the training and manage the logistics. This phase
of the training is also called as the designing phase of the training programme. This is where
the organization or the people who actually conduct the training programme decides on the
thrust of the training programme, meaning that whether the purpose of the training is to increase
the knowledge of the employees, or equip them with specific skills for a certain task or to
change their attitude.
According to (Yumna, 2015), who was in charge of the training programme conducted,
some of the main objectives of the Customer Service Training Programme are;
To aware the employees regarding the importance of a good customer care
service provided,
To train the employees on how to deal with different types of customers,
To discuss the barriers and issues faced by the employees when it comes to
proving service to the customers and to overcome those barriers and issues, and
To help the employees to build their self-confidence when it comes to dealing
with the customers.
Agenda for the training programme is also prepared during this phase of the training.
Likewise, the Administration division also prepared an agenda for the Customer Care Training
Programme. An agenda shows the schedule of the training programme. It gives the trainee as
well as the employees who are to train a brief idea about what is going to be next on the
schedule and how exactly the train is planned.
Agenda for the Customer Service Training Programme is shown in the below figure

conduct the training on Saturday and since there were several employees, they also decided to
conduct the training programme on two days. Meaning that, the same training programme is to
be conducted for the two batches of employees on two consecutive Saturdays.
And since there was no qualified instructor regarding the Customer Care Training, the
Administration decided to outsource the training programme. And luckily they were able to get
a qualified trainee, for the Customer Service Training programme who was willing to do it for
free.
During the evaluation phase, a daily summary of the training programme is prepared,
and at the end of the training programme, a thorough evaluation of the whole training was
conducted. Inorder to do this the trainer handed over a set of questionnaires to the employees.

controlling of themselves and how to communicate when those situations occur.
HELPS TO IMPROVE STAFFS CUSTOMER SERVICE QUALITY
The main purpose of this training is to build a good, qualified staffs who are confident
enough to deal with any kind of customers. Since human resource, man-power is the key to
every organizations success and its growth, developing its employees is the only way to
achieve the organizations mission and vision. And it is every organizations dream to increase
the number of customers or in the case of Health Ministry, to satisfy the customer needs and to
clarify their doubts and information that they seek. Thus, the Customer Service Training
programme helps the participants to build their confident and to improve their knowledge on
customer service and to use those knowledge and experience in real life.
IT HELPS TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS THE
MINISTRY
Every customer expects a good customer service from where they receive any service.
So, improving the quality of the customer service provided, increases the customer satisfaction,
and loyalty towards the organization. A good customer service helps to resolve their issues,
and finally it helps to minimize the number of return calls.
