ABSTRACT

This study is focused at finding out the root cause of customer complains; determine whether the variety on the part of Unilever staff is a direct result of lack of incentive scheme. The aim of any organization is to manufacture products and provide services and earn profits. To be able to accomplish these, workers must be motivated by ensuring that their human needs are adequately satisfied. Customers have often complained of poor products or services for many years especially in the areas of customer’s retention, after sales services e.t.c. All these centre on attitude of company staff and thus the inefficiency on the entire organization. In view of this, the management should increase and administer effectively the motivation available as part of mechanism to increase worker’s performance.
