Action Plan

The company should start by identifying the causes low employee morale. They can accomplish this task within two months. The management should monitor the workers using employee satisfaction survey (Abbott, 2003). Being a telecom firm, employees have to work 24/7 giving them very little time to rest and spend time with their families. The survey will enable the board know some of the challenges their worker's experience (Abbott, 2003). After identifying these issues, they should relate them to the current low productivity within the organisation. Low employee morale can have a drastic effect on the productivity of the company hence should be dealt with once detected.

Poor network services to the clients make workers especially customer service agents receive insulting words from the customers hence making most of them to ignore customers call. By doing so, most clients opt for other telecom services like Safaricom thus low productivity for the company. As stipulated in the SWOT analysis, they should ensure that they improve their network services to satisfy their customers needs. That should be accomplished within two months. By providing that proper network services, their workers will receive pleasant calls hence motivates them at work. Increase workforce to curb the issue of long working hours through Monthly recruitment for at least six months. Within six months, the company should ensure that its employees work for not more than eight hours per day to grant them enough rest and also spent time with family.
