Introduction:
This report is about the performance of the team with the management and the development.
Team performance report is essential to get the evaluation of the customer services and the
complaints of the customers to verify the related causes of the customers.
Customer performance is used to get the information about the scenario of the employees of the
company that what is going on in the departments of the organization like in the customer
support services or in the other relevant areas. To provide the best and efficient services to the
customer the team work is very necessary and analysis on the team performance is essential to
get the data or the analysis about the growth of the production and for to get the good feedback
from the customers by providing them a quality product in a given time period. It covers such
areas related to get the evaluation of the team work and also covers the control and the
communication between the manager of the production and the employees to get the good
results. Team performance should be increased by making strategies to get the effective and
essential work from the team.
The performance of the team increases if they know that how to breakdown the work into
different categories on the basis of the skills of an employee. In an organization the services
related to the customers can be measured by the different aspects. The satisfaction of the
customer is very necessary in an organization to evaluate the team work that how a team is
working and the results coming after their work. If the customer is satisfied with the services of
the company that it is key of knowing that the team performance of the company is in well
maintained condition. And for the team it is necessary to response as soon as possible on the
issues of the customer and takes the feedback after the solution of the issue.
If the performance of the team is not good and the company is not proving the services which the
company promised to the customer then it affects the image of the company and also reduces its
revenue in the market (Stewart and Wainwright, 2012). For example, in the scenario the
10

customer was promised to get the product within the three working days after he ordered the
product but he didn’t received it on time. After the compliant that is raised by the customer to
Marry. Customer suffered from the rude behavior of Miss Merry because she is famous in the
company for her rude behavior to the customers which enhance the problem for the overall team.
Conclusion:
To solve the issues of the customer it is very essential to understand the views of the customer on
the products or the services of the company. And the problems which is faced by the customers
due to the carelessness of the team work than it is the duty of the team of the company that they
should provide the solution to the customer for their problem as soon as possible and get the
feedback on the solution to the better performance of the team.
