Customer Care Excellence: Enhancing Service Quality through Training & Development

Introduction
As part of a continuous improvement initiative, I propose a training program to address declining
customer service ratings within the e-commerce platform's customer care department. The

frustration. Active listening, de-escalation techniques, and clear communication will be
evaluated.

procedures plays a crucial role. Gaps in product knowledge can lead to longer resolution
times.
