Caribbean Team Vibes and Whatever! Karen Brown sat in her office and thought about her 20-year career at Bright Lights Corporation(BLC). Her success at BLC has been from her own efforts and management. She had improveddiversity for the team she led, launched new products and had taken on challenges which at timesseemed insurmountable. Recently, she and her colleagues were part of a team that launched anumber of products in the Caribbean region. The successful product launch had created a hugedemand for the company’s products that required BLC to establish and centralize a call center inTrinidad and Tobago. The call center would create additional jobs, one of which was her own -Senior Vice President for Global Operations and Support, where she was based in Trinidad andwas responsible for beefing up operations and customer service given the growing expansion ofthe business. As she sat in her office reviewing the latest department call logs, and reflected on the heatedmeeting she had with her team members this morning, she wondered whether she was competentenough get the job done and exceed the company’s expectations. She wondered whether her teamfully supported her. The call response times were unsatisfactory and if the department continuedon this path, her budgeted figures would turn red. The meeting this morning disturbed her as sherealized that there were disagreements among her team members where there appeared to be adivision along Caribbean and Non – Caribbean groups.The team comprised two Jamaicans, one Trinidadian from the Trinidad headquarters and onePanamanian from the Central American sales office. The two Jamaicans, already thinking aboutcustomer support, had spent the past few months working with product developers to create webbased training videos that provided step-by-step product use information, as well as testingcompetitor products. The employee from Panama had also spent time with the productdevelopment team and had been an outstanding sales representative. She had transferred from theCentral American sales office to join the Trinidad call center.The problem was that the Jamaicans and the Trinidadian were angry about the work habits of theKaren was discouraged that, at the end of their first month of working together, the team members’call response average was a little over two minutes off target. She was also getting complaintsfrom the three Caribbean team members. They calculated that together the three spent an averageof five and a half minutes with each customer; when customers wanted further information, theemployees referred them to the training videos. In contrast, they observed that the Panamanianmember, Maria Perez, spent about 15 minutes with each customer, often walking the customerthrough the videos over the phone. These longer calls were affecting the compensation of allmembers, and the Jamaicans and Trinidadians were angry.At the most recent weekly team meeting, the tension had been palpable. The Jamaicans and theTrinidadian understood Perez’s point about the need for customer satisfaction, but they believedthat helping customers solve problems and referring them to the training video was good enough.The complaints in the meeting went like this:Joy Campbell says:This goes beyond being annoyed about how much Maria talks, it now affects my pay—it’s beingdocked. When she does a call, it goes way past product information; she carries on about family,gets wrapped up in their problems, laughs and jokes—but the thing that really put me over theedge was when she told someone she’d put the kids who used our equipment on her prayer list! going to sell them something and then hit the road. No one else on this team takes the time to earnhealth care providers’ respect. We need to make them feel confident in their decision to buy ourmonitors and not someone else’s. But don’t take my word for it—have a look at the how customershave rated me: my satisfaction scores are exponentially higher than anyone else’s on this team.Karen worried that both she and the team were at a breaking point.Part 11.
