Smart service desk is a one-of-a-kind
HR initiative from HCL Comnet for its
employees. This service eliminates the
need for an employee to physically go
to any department for any problem that
he faces.
Smart Service Desk, is a link available
on the desktop Intranet, which is accessed
by employees in face of any problem. It
could be as small as a program to be loaded
onto the computer or as critical as certain
discrepancy in salary statement. The procedure
is very simple - all one has to do is
open up a "Trouble Ticket",
select the nature of a problem, department
it has to be addressed to and then issue
it to the appropriate person as specified
through selection of either of the 3 types
of nature of problem - query, problem
or request. This trouble ticket is then
sent to the concerned department with
copies to that department’s head,
who then assigns the problem to a particular
person. That person has been allocated
a set time limit to address the issue
– called closing the trouble-ticket.
That window can only be closed if either
the person who had raised the problem
cancels the request or when the problem
has been resolved. The response time is
noted which is reflected in his performance
reviews. This feature ensures that whatever
the problem may be the employee time/
efficiency does not suffer due to hurdles/
problems beyond their control.
Unlike most companies, at
HCL Comnet the internal customers are
as important as the external customers.
Through the Smart Service Desk, HCL Comnet
aims to eliminate the need for internal
customers to chase up other departments
for any problem that they have. It not
only increases efficiency but also ensures
complete transparency – the underlying
corporate philosophy of the company. |
