Padgino Employee Satisfaction Survey Report
Executive Summary
Tayona Consulting Services conducted a survey to measure the job satisfaction of employees of Padgino. Data was primarily collected with the use of the survey platform ZestSurvey. Employees were asked to numerically rate their satisfaction with factors such as company management, job duties, and employee benefits. The list of questions and a detailed analysis of the collected data are included in this report's appendices. Four supplementary interviews were conducted with employees who indicated willingness to further discuss their answers. To protect these employees' privacy, these interviews are not described in detail in this report.
The findings indicate that employees are satisfied with most aspects of their jobs and particularly their pay. The only part of the survey with a significant number of negative ratings is that of employee support. It appears that when employees encounter a problem during a call, they are often directed to connect the customer to a manager. In such cases, the employee does not learn how the problem can be resolved in the future. Employees expressed frustration with this situation. Therefore, this report proposes that regular training sessions be held to teach employees how to successfully deal with recurring problems.

Danica Fay [11:02 A.M.]
In-Tak, a law firm just ordered six Ivy desks through our Website. I know our stock of walnut wood is low, so I wanted to check with you before I gave them an estimated ship date.
In-Tak Lee [11:03 A.M.]
We don't have enough walnuts left for that. Three of the desks would be delayed by an extra month.
Danica Fay [11:04 A.M.]
Well, I'd hate to lose this client. What if we offered them Ivy desks in another type of wood?
In-Tak Lee [11:04 A.M.]
Hmm. Let me bring Bente in. Her team builds them.
In-Tak Lee [11:05 A.M.]
Bente, are there any alternative woods that you could use to make the Ivy desk? We're almost out of walnut.
Bente Dahl [11:07 A.M.]
Oak would work. It's also a hard wood, and it's got a similar color.
Danica Fay [11:08 A.M.]
If we use that, could the order be shipped within the usual four weeks?
In-Tak Lee [11:08 A.M.]
Yes. We have plenty of oak.
Danica Fay [11:09 A.M.]
"That's much better. I'Il ask whether the law firm is interested.
In-Tak Lee [11:10 A.M.]
OK, but you should probably add "backordered" banners to the pages of our larger walnut products. We can't do custom orders for every client.
