2.- DISASSEMBLY OF STAFF INVOLVED

Since the real reason for this bad practice on the part of the worker is unknown and
seeing that it has generated bad publicity and distrust towards the company, the
logical thing would be to separate the worker or workers responsible for them and
have a meeting with the manager and deputy head of the related area.
Also if necessary, depending on the results of the investigation, terminate dealings
with the company that sells the products.

3.- WORKER TRAINING

In order to re-instill the values and vision of the company, it would be good to do
regular training as well as meetings with managers and sub-heads of areas to
follow the work within the company in more detail to avoid this problem and detect
others that need prompt intervention.

PART 2 (GAINING PEOPLE'S TRUST)

1.- MEETINGS WITH CUSTOMERS
Meet with clients to explain the problem, emphasizing that it was an act of an
individual without knowledge of the company and explaining what has been done
to rectify everything and that as a company it has never been the goal to deceive
the client.

2.- ADVERTISING
Give greater publicity to attract new clients and let old clients know that you are still
working.

3.- COMPENSATION
Give compensation to old or large clients such as discounts, preferential prices,
invitations or prizes for loyalty to the company, in addition to contests for the
general public. This is in order for the public to trust again in the products that the
company sells, in addition to returning to the place it had before in the community,
either as a company or trusted entity.
