Verbatim comments How could your job be made more satisfying and enjoyable REMOVE THE BEAN COUNTING AND ALLOW INDIVIDUALS TO WORK TO A TOP QUALITY STANDARD WITH CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT THAT HAVING THE TIME TO DO SO WOULD ALLOW IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF JOBS ARRIVING IN TO PLANNING FROM THE FRONT END OR OPENREACH EXTERNAL Less emphasis on widget count. I believe management do not want to understand the difficulties this causes. A real change in attitude from management to include and involve all rather than just discussing key issues with favourite people MORE RECOGNITION - I THINK FLMS ARE LARGELY OVERLOOKED AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED - VERY LONG HOURS AND LITTLE OR NO DIFFERENTIALS IN SALARY ETC. Managers of teams need to manage their teams.They spend far to much time on other duties which detracts from help the team to grow and improve customer service.We need to stop the top down delegation that damages our business moving forward to success have the soul responsibility & be clearly measured against team targets to deliver an order or multiple orders/products through from start to finish without having to pass it on to someone else. Wider ownership of everything relating to the delivery of service to a customeer or project, along with the necessary budget control and influence ove the supporting platforms. better training when taking on new roles and responsibillities such as job shadowing existing planners. Suitable training-prior to needing it The relience on a base system connected to others to carry out planning, instead of the multitude of systems used at present... 21C has added a further 4 to the list !!!!!

Verbatim Comments Cont. What do you like least about your work Some people seem valued more or less than others HAVING TO CHASE UP OPENREACH EXTERNAL PLANNERS (MANY OF WHICH DO NOT EVEN PUT THEIR NAME ON COSMOSS) WHO HAVE PUT INSUFFICIENT NOTES ON COSMOSS OR FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB CORRECTLY - SUCH AS INS WORK + YCODES Customer calls and lack of understanding from customer having to continualy send in escalations due to activities not being completed on time The politics sometimes. I do like to get things done. I do understand things need to be done in the right way, but sometimes change seems to take an eternity to happen management restrictions PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT The targets we have do not reflect how we perform in the customers eyes.Also not being able to fix an issue due to BT internal politics.We need to step back and understand what is important to the customer and then build on this. Employee reviews too frequent handing off a job i could be trained to do myself having to make travel plans at short notice - I like to plan but saying that I can usually accommodate plans at short notice Trying to work within an environment where the orgainsations within a business are not focussed on the same business goal, particularly when there is too much effort focussed on atificial internal business constraints. Nothing really.

Learning and comparison Real change has happened for this sample group we need to ensure that effort is rewarded and no return to old habits is tolerated Can we make the role more challenging with out adding lots of stress Make sure targets reflect customer purpose without excessive measurement Ensure gains made are sustained Ensure that team working becomes standard practise Future changes should reflect wanting a bigger sense of achievement More allowance for initiative and decision making Greater team working and getting involved in improving things Opportunity for more inter-team working Ensure people are involved in what happens next Sustainability is the biggest challenge Accreditation opportunities should be swift and actionable
