A performance measurement program geared toward positive reinforcement of employee performance is instrumental to staff development efforts. The detailed responses supplied by a shopper encounter provide your management team direct insight into areas that warrant re-training while also highlighting your outstanding performers. Ongoing assessment helps identify opportunities for motivating and educating a successful, service-focused and sales-oriented team.
We recommend the service types that best address your organizational goals, while staying within the confines of your budget. Interview type, shop types and frequency can vary by location to avoid schedules that over- or under-shop/interview any particular area. This allows you to target branch locations and regions that require more attention and to focus your budget dollars accordingly.
We work closely with you to determine all scenarios to be used within your mystery shopping program. All scenarios are developed with specific attention to the current level of employee training and employer expectation.
