Question 1
Describe how you handled a difficult customer in the workplace.
Zeer goed gestructureerd. Bij eerste telefonisch contact is een duidelijke procedure aagegeven, en deze werd van begin tot eind gevolgd. De procedure bestaat uit een aantal gesprekken, eerst online. Daarna op locatie. Als laatste nog een keer op locatie, met een technische beoordeling en uiteindelijk kennismaking met hogere leiding gevenden. Totale procedure heeft ongeveer 10 uur in beslage genomen, verdeeld over de verschillende contactmomenten. HR afdeling goed bereikbaar.
