1. Course Title: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Author: Jaime E. Noble
Brief Course Description:
Public satisfactions are becoming more difficult and more important to maintain.
Keeping our external customers such as the veterans and claimants satisfied is the key
to accomplishing the mission and vision of Philippine Veterans Affairs Office and the
government in general. We should make sure that our stakeholders are satisfied.
Client satisfaction doesn’t only apply to the end user of PVAO services. It also applies
to the people in this organization, and how they work together to produce ministration.
This training program provides a road map to improve customer satisfaction,
with both external and internal customers. The same principle applies to keeping our
external customers happy and to keeping internal customers happy, too.
It’s like tract-and-field relay team. When one runner passes the baton to a
teammate, they are engaging in internal customer interaction. Both runners are part of
the same team, yet the second runner’s ability to run a good race make a successful
hand-off to the next member of the relay team depends on how smoothly the first
runner passes the baton. Thus, satisfying his/her internal customer. These relationships
affect not only the next leg of the race, but also the success of the entire team.
If PVAO wants to win the race for total client satisfaction, we need to make sure
that our hand-off’s are smooth and effective. As you can see, internal relationships
have a profound impact our organization’s ability to run a good race and to provide our
customers with the kind of service anchored towards social justice.
