Customers complain when their expectations are not met, to release anger, or to help improve service. Complaints are a "gift" that allow businesses to increase customer trust, build long-term relationships, and engage customers as advocates who publicly support the business. To properly handle complaints, businesses should listen, repeat the issue, apologize, acknowledge the problem, explain how it will be addressed, thank the customer, follow up, remain calm and focus on the problem rather than taking it personally. The goal is to turn unhappy customers into satisfied ones.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Handling Guest Complaints in Hotels
- 2. Reasons for guests to make complaints Needs of our guests have not been met. We have not worked to our own standard. Delayed orders, guests are impatient. Wrong order was served. Billing was incorrect. Not enough attention paid to guests. We give false promises. Mix-up in reservations. Poor food hygiene. Guests are in bad mood/having a bad day
- 3. Do’s and don’ts in handling complaints Do listen carefully, do not panic and do not interrupt, let the speaker finish his or her complaint. Do accept his or her feelings with empathy. Do clarify the complaint by repeating it back in your own words, then ask what the guest would like you to do. At this stage, be non-committed. Take action if you can. Thank the guest for bringing this matter to you. Do not argue, saying “it is your mistake, not mine”. Do not offer excuses like “ I have a bad headache”. Do not blame others, “ it is my colleague’s fault”. Do not take it personally, “why are you pointing finger at me?” Do not make the customer feel small, “no one else complains. Why do you?” Do not make false promises, “ I am sure that my manager will agree with you and give you 50% discount.” Do not ignore or brush off a complaint.
- 4. Tips conducive to staff in handling guests’ complaints Ignore personal remarks and insults as the guest is mad with the hotel, not with you. Tell guests that you will help if they give you a chance. Listen carefully, ask questions so you understand the problem. Remember that you can not help if you have no facts. Apologize when you know the hotel is at fault. Try to remain calm at all times. Be honest as you handle the situation.
