Today i received an email from the CEO of Qantas apologising about the recent disruptions to their services. Initially i thought i was someone important then i realised it went to all Frequent Flyers. The good news is that this email directly addresses some of the bad press the airline has been receiving. It was good, from a customer perspective, to actually hear from the man at the top and not some PR mouth piece.
Overall this is a great example of using PR and email to directly get to those customers that really matter, the frequent flyer. More companies should use this approach more often. Overall, well done … not just fix the maintenance issues.

In today’s economic environment businesses are making tough decisions. They are laying off people at a great rate, cutting back on non-essential costs, and pushing through price increases on their customers, all in an effort to improve the overall performance of a business. Banks are a great example of this, they are looking for any way to increase their revenues through new fees and charges while quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) laying off people. These businesses, especially the public ones, have no choice. Their share prices reflect the belief by shareholders in higher and higher returns from these companies.
However, while these changes in an organisation can be difficult for the employees (no one likes to see collegues lose their jobs), senior management often dont cut back on their pay packets or their perks, thereby creating an us and them culture in a business. If senior management don’t walk the talk, they run the risk of undermining the culture of a business.
