post. All employees monitor and respond to high-volume, routine, non-regulated complaints

coming into mailboxes being serviced by the Resolution Assurance Department requiring

decisions that fall within a clearly defined set of established processes and procedures.

The one of the communication gap between the Resolution Assurance Department and

customers is (1) the high amount of income email on a daily basis and (2) part of the income

email consist simple and short requests from the customer. Overall, the process to resolve all

requests and complains (simple or difficult cases) takes long time due to high-volume of

income emails.

flipchart. The size of the room is large in order to accommodate all participants. There are 15

employees of Resolution Assurance department on Analyst I position who needs to complete

the training.

A training room large sized is efficient because the group size is 15 trainees. The training

room has a projector which is need to use PowerPoint tool and 17 laptops. The training room

will be reserved beforehand.

The trainer specifically prefers laptops over desktop computers because laptops will be only

used during the practical part of the training and before that they will be close. Closed laptops

will not switch trainees’ attention with disturbing use of internet and checking emails.

Laptops should already be placed on desks before the students have arrived. In addition, a

4
flipchart will need to be obtained to fulfill the workshop activities.

Needs summary:

 Overhead projector

 Flipchart

 Markers for flipchart

 17 laptops

 Internet access

 Tables and chairs

 Large training room

At training room, tables and chairs will be arranged in a U-Shape seating layout. A U-Shaped

table arrangement will encourage discussion and will make it easy to the trainer in order to

observe trainees and provide one on one help during the practical part. The openness of the U-

Shaped seating layout will give trainees a sense of freedom and will be the best set up for

them in order to view PowerPoint presentations and flipchart.

LECTURE

10:30 AM Benefits of using Social Media – PowerPoint slides

Facebook in the workplace:

1. Enhances information discovery

and delivery

Employees can use social media

(Facebook) as a form of communication

to discover and deliver job-related

information. Social media in the

workplace is another avenue for workers

to find information that is relevant to the

job or discover new information they

13
can apply while on their job. It is also a

way for your employees to spread

information about your company. This

transmission of information can help

with brand awareness and open up new

recruiting and business opportunities.

2. Employees can ask questions and

solve a work problem

Social media (Facebook) can help

employees when dealing with a difficult

work problem. If an employee has an

issue they can’t seem to solve, social

media may be the answer. Posing a

question on social media is a simple and

quick way to get several possible

solutions. Even if none of the answers

are used to solve the problem, the

information they provide may spark to a

new solution. Sometimes an outside

perspective is needed, and social media

is a means to gain multiple new

perspectives, quickly, easily, and for

free.

14
Benefits of using Facebook for

Customer Service

1. Build real customer

relationships.

Many businesses approach social media

as another channel for self-promotion

and don't always respond when

customers comment on their posts or

tweet at them. Use MoneyGram

Facebook account as an opportunity to

build real relationships with your

customers by engaging in conversation,

especially for complaints resolution.

2. Focus on creating a customer

advocate base.

If a customer has a bad experience with

a company, one of the first things he or

she is likely to do is write about it on

social media. Instead of figuring out

how to manage and respond to those

negative comments, MoneyGram is

focusing on providing such excellent

customer service that create a strong,

15
loyal customer base if someone has

something bad to say.

3. Be present.

MoneyGram wants to deliver effective

customer service on Facebook and we

are able to use social media monitoring

to flag all messages related to our

company and products.

Post-Training Assessment Plan

MoneyGram Facebook Tool for Resolution Assurance Department

Introduction

Why is it important to make a Post-Training Assessment? There are three reasons: 1) To

justify the existence of the training department, by showing what contribution the department

does in order to achieve the organization's goals and objectives. 2) Decide whether to

continue or stop the training program. 3) Get information on how to improve the training

program in the future. In most cases, the assessment is carried out in order to understand how

to improve the effectiveness of the training and in what ways can it be improved

Cognitive Level of Training Evaluation

Cognitive level or learning is defined changing attitudes, improving knowledge and

improving participants' skills as a result of their training program. The change in the behavior

of participants as a result of training is possible only when learning occurs (settings will

change, knowledge or skills will be improved).

The cognitive objective for this training was that by the end of the training, employees will be

able to understand how to use soft skills to communicate and resolve customers’ complaints

by using MoneyGram Facebook Tool. We have to make an assessment in order to find out

how well did employees understood theoretical part of the training and did experience the

practice part.

To assess the cognitive level, we are going use specially developed tests, questionnaires and

tasks, the purpose of which is to quantify the progress in the knowledge obtained by the

employees. For out post-training assessment we are going to use an essay exam items. On the

essay exam items, employees will be asked to generate, list and explain the response. For this

particular training it is valuable for the trainees to discuss and explain in their own words how

39
do they understand the soft skills, how does the MoneyGram Facebook Tool works (technical

point of view) and how to engage with a customer by using employee’s soft skills via

Facebook tool. The essay exam items will allow employees to apply information they are

learning directly to their professional and personal lives. By using this method, we can clearly

make an assessment on cognitive objective of our training and recognize whether it was met.

Example of Cognitive Measurement

Essay Exam Items

1. List and explain the meaning of soft skills


2. Compare and contrast difficult not difficult customer
3. In 250-word essay describe your experience with difficult customer, paying particular
attention on your professional soft skills
4. List and explain the benefit of using Facebook at the workplace
5. Compare and contrast the use of Facebook for personal and professional needs

Affective Level of Training Evaluation

At this level, the employees’ reaction to learning is revealed. When assessing the affective

level, it is important to establish what information we want to receive and, in accordance with

this, choose the tools. The assessment at this level determines how the program responds to it.

This is an assessment of trainees’ satisfaction and in this case the response of participants is a

very important criterion of the training success for at least two reasons: 1) Firstly, the people

way or another do share their impressions of the training with the management, and this

information goes above. Consequently, it [information] influences the decision-making on the

continuation of the training. 2) Secondly, if participants do not react positively then they will

not have motivation to learn. Although, a positive reaction does not guarantee the successful

development of new knowledge, skills and abilities. Negative reaction to training certainly

means less likely to attend the training.

40
The affective objective for this training was that by the end of the training, by given the

opportunity to work in a team with people from different countries, the employees will have a

positive increase in attitude towards diversity of customers. We will discover if employees

understand the importance of dealing with customers from different countries. We have to

find out how did the like the trainer and respect the training content. The assessment on

affective level of training will help us to recognize how employees are motivated after they

have learned the training content and how they will use their new skills on the job. In order to

measure employees’, affect on this level, we are going to use the Likert scale items.

Employees will be asked to complete the questionnaire and indicate whether they “strongly

agree”, “agree”, “disagree”, “strongly disagree”, or “are undecided” about the content of the

statement.

Example of Affective Measurement

Likert Scale Items

For each item, evaluate your level of agreement: (5) = Strongly Agree; (4) = Agree; (3) =

Disagree; (2) = Strongly Disagree; (1) = Undecided

Behavioral Level of Training Evaluation

This level is the most important and complex. It is at this level, an assessment is made of how

the behavior of employees has changed as a result of training, how much knowledge and

skills are used in the workplace. This reflects the degree of motivation of the employees and

the relevance of the training. The absence of changes in the behavior of participants does not

mean that the training was ineffective. There are situations when the response to the training

was positive, but the necessary conditions were not made and the behavior did not change.

Therefore, the absence of a change in the behavior of participants after the training may not

always be the reason for making a decision to terminate the program. In these cases, it is

necessary to check if the following prerequisites are present: 1) employees’ willing to change

the behavior; 2) employees’ understanding of what and how to do; 3) the creation of an

appropriate social and psychological climate; 4) encouraging employees to change their

behavior.

There are three levels of behavioral assessment:

1. Atomistic assessment – we determine if the behaviors were performed or not;


2. Analytic assessment – we determine how well each of the employees’ behaviors was
performed;
3. Holistic assessment – we determine the overall quality of the employee’s behavioral
performance.
The behavioral objective for this training was that by the end of the training, employees will

be able to use own soft skills in order to resolute customers’ complaints by using MoneyGram

Facebook Tool after the training. We are going to measure atomistic level of employees’

behaviors by observations during the practice and discussion parts of the training. The

analytic level will be measured by asking employees to complete the questionnaire with the

skill ratings. And for the holistic level, employees will be asked to complete the survey in

order to determine their overall performance, how well an employee is able to perform soft

skills with difficult customers by using MoneyGram Facebook Tool.

Longer-Term Results

The assessment at this level determines how the company's business performance has

changed. The results should not be measured in monetary value, changes may lead to an profit

increase. The assessment at this level is the most difficult and expensive. To obtain more

reliable results in the evaluation it is necessary:

 - if possible, use a control group (not trained);


 - evaluate after some time, so that the results become visible;
 - evaluate before and after the program (if possible);
 - evaluate several times during the program;
 - to compare the value of information that can be obtained with the help of the
evaluation and the cost of obtaining this information (the author believes that the
assessment at the fourth level is not always expedient due to its high cost).
The management of Resolution Assurance Department will be able to the long-term

development related to customer service via MoneyGram Facebook Tool. The positive and

smart changes in customer service (for the Resolution Assurance) will lead to positive

changes for MoneyGram International. The amount of complaints received by Facebook Tool

will be measured together with previous tools (email, post).

The insight customer service statistics and customers’ reviews on social media and internet

will be collected in order to measure ROI (return on investment), which is defined as Return

(additional income from satisfied customers) minus Investment (cost of the training) divided

by Investment.
