Service recovery and hospital complaint-handling are not a favorite subject among healthcare employees. Yet, if we learn to reframe complaints, we can embrace them as a second chance to make things right for the people we serve.

Ideally, every person in your organization should be adept at handling complaints, so they can nip complaints in the bud. This booklet is a straightforward guide to handling complaints effectively. Designed for the frontline employee, it explores the basics of identifying the problem, listening, exploring options, following through and getting the right people involved.

The World Bank Group has made important contributions to poverty reduction in developing countries. But to stay relevant under the uncertain conditions that characterise today's global development context, the Bank Group needs to enhance its capacity to help clients cope with weak economic growth, address persistent disparities in development progress, and manage the increasingly global and cross-cutting nature of development solutions. The messages in this report from the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) seek to help the Bank Group improve its programs and development outcomes. Thus the primary audience is Bank Group management. Additional audiences include other development organisations, nongovernmental organisations, and civil society organisations that are involved in development issues, as they also seek better development outcomes. This report addresses IEG's work over the last year, summarising findings from its evaluations and discussing the trends that are revealed. In particular, as a consequence of the Bank Group's rapid, large-scale response to the 2008-09 crisis, the Bank's remaining capital headroom precludes a comparable expansion should another crisis occur. In addition, the extent to which country programmes meet their objectives has yet to reach the performance target set in the Bank's Corporate Scorecard. Development outcome ratings of Bank-funded investment projects, as well as the outcome ratings for International Finance Corporation (IFC) investments, have recently declined. IEG's findings suggest that enhancing the quality of projects at their outset as well as their supervision would help reverse the decline in Bank project ratings; along the same line, improving IFC's work quality would strengthen the results of its investments. Evaluation evidence also underscores the importance of sustained dialogue with stakeholders and of high-quality analytical work to sharpen the understanding of client circumstances, which is essential for successful outcomes. Effective development solutions require intensified efforts by the Bank Group to work across conventional boundaries.

It seems to me over a period of thirty years I have been engaged in degree course teaching services under the University of Calcutta. I still remain to be an under developer of knowledge or rather an illiterate to write this book. Sri Sri Ramkrishna Kathaamrita bestowed on me by generating ideas to write something for the human being on the earth. Ramkrishna kathaamrita teaches me to think and incubate the ideas and those ideas are essential sources of knowledge that has been contained in this book. I have tried a little to accumulate all ideas through my publications in papers. Those ideas are assimilated into this book. It has been a challenging task to enhance value and management by value-added with an impact of Value-adding multiplier (VAM). Encouraged by the overwhelming response to reviving for survival, which contained package to market Easter Region in general and West Bengal in particular in the wake of the new economic policy adopted by the government at the center. The basic economic indicator, has been earmarked, is the enhanced net value-added. Net Value-added (NVA) can very aptly indicate the economic performance instead of ?profit? measurement. The value-added statement can best be used to measure objectively the overall economic as well as corporate achievements for the society at large. It is utmost important and rather imperative to promulgate the laws and codes for corporate reporting by means of value-added statement (VAS) in specifically defined format. The author states that enhanced value-added is the economic indicator meant for the stakeholders and society at large. Creation of wealth to the society cannot be sustained by focusing only on "profit" but it should be emphasized on the creation of value-added by different forms of economic activities by means of effective utilization of knowledge resources as well as scarce economic resources. So, the author stresses importance on the accounting information by means of "net value-added (NVA)." Value-added must be the core measurement to justify the economic achievements of manufacturing sector with an effect of value-adding multiplier (VAM).

The world is becoming a smaller place as companies search the continents looking for cheaper resources to fulfil their requirements. As contracts become shorter and profit margins become smaller the demand for process adherence is still a priority. Procedural errors can make the difference between operating at a loss or a profit. Complete control is the only way to maximize output, minimize loss and maintain the contract from day one. The Essential Outsourcing Process and Procedure Global Guidebook demonstrates the complete contract control concept incorporating process design (documentation), activation (implementation) and measurement (improve and update).

The book shows to readers that a Quality Conscience is needed in order to successfully implement quality and reap corporate success: This conscience takes you through a path of discovery which first stems from a realization of what is quality and its inherently natural presence in the universe, to an understanding of the direct impacts of quality on business success, together with an awareness of the very many things which are required in order to get the perfect working quality model. The universal realities are rightfully described by projecting an organization as an organizational entity which is alive and whose successful existence depends on non-visible forces and energies. It is through the cohesive mix of quality forces that we show the emergence of a true quality culture which is sustainable. In fact the book shows that the very essence and ability to replicate a culture of quality can become natural and require effortless organizational actions and behaviours if they are driven by a value based system. Projection into the energetic dimension serves to caution moves and actions which generate organizational entropy and drain energy from the organization. The book provides insights from more than a decade of work experience in the field of Quality and taps into a panoply of issues (very often ignored) and which need to be considered in order to achieve the perfect Quality Environment: The principles of Quantum Management is the result of an experiential analysis of Organizational dynamics and behaviour and realities as observed over more than a decade of practice of Quality: The experience drawn provides practical insights on the various roadblocks which are encountered in the path of implementing Quality. Finally the book inspires from close parallels between the individual and the living organizational entities and the energy realm within which the entities and the universe operates. The universe is a bundle of energy, energy makes the world go round : The Quality phenomenon is intricately associated with energy: The organization is an energy conglomerate comprising the energy of its organizational premises and space, its atmosphere, its interactions with customers, its people, its leaders, the energy of its efficiency and effectiveness, the energy of its product and services and the energy of its culture. Existing Quality Tool-oriented books on the market do not delve on the subject matter of energy and this is what makes the topic new and of increasing importance. The book is unique in the sense that it describes the practical path towards achieving corporate success through quality, explained within a tantalising background and context of an energy realm The various chapters of the book starting with the Quality Philosophy, the creation of the Quality Foundation, Business Excellence Models, Creating a Quality Culture, cautionary Roadblocks to Quality all espouse the energy principles in their descriptions and intentions for truly achieving Quality and reaping success. The holistic approach guarantees success and is propounded in the perfect working Quality Model, which described in Chapter 6. The book has been structured in such a way that it shows the path and rise in building a House of Quality though rightfully chosen chapters. More importantly it was felt that most quality books remain at the level of text books and do not reveal the philosophic aspects of quality. It was also felt that the true meaning of quality was not truly understood and the intention was to provide such an explanation of its holistic meaning. The book has some new themes that have not been touched so far by other books dealing with the subject matter of Quality in organizations: These themes are for example the principles of Quantum Management, the energy dimension within which an organization operates and the non-visible forces which affect the running of the organization and the need for organizational sensitiveness for same.
