" Understand the ambitions and aspirations of the team members and help them to develop by actively ensuring they have personal development plans in place which support this.

Communication
Make sure that structured, regular two way communication is in place, using e-mail only as a supporting communication channel not the primary one:

" Schedule and conduct monthly team meetings. Agendas and minutes must be created and the agenda should have team input.
" Ensure that information is communicated to all Team Members when it is received and confirm that all parties have received it.

Case Management
Our objective is 'first time resolution'. To be more efficient, and provide a better service to our clients and customers, we need to resolve the majority of cases by telephone. You are responsible for ensuring the team achieve this objective:

" To ensure that the team is focused on resolving customer issues on the phone as much as possible and monitoring individuals' performance to validate this.
" Make sure that the team logs all cases in line with agreed procedures and maintain accurate diary and task records.
" Monitor the overall workload situation and reallocate resources/cases as required. When cases begin to fall outside of SLA, overtime must be agreed, organised and a clearance plan created, implemented and completed.
" Support and advise the team in making decisions relating to goodwill.

Performance Management
You need to support your team to enable them to do their jobs well and to develop in their roles. However you are also responsible for ensuring that they perform to the standard we require and which is needed to get the job done:

" Actively manage the real time performance of the team. Monitor workloads and outstanding tasks. Monitor telephone activity.
" Check audit volumes and ensure feedback sessions taking place between Quality Team and operations areas.
" Manage individuals' performance through coaching, audit, review and target setting.
" Ensure that any negative performance issues are documented and followed up within agreed timescales.
" Manage lateness and absence.

Quality Focus
We have to deliver a really positive customer experience especially at a key Moment of Truth when they don't believe they have received the service they should have:

" Make sure that the team really want to deliver the best service at every opportunity.
