Two hours late due to SweepStars having to find their own way
<p>To whom it may concern,</p> <p><br />I would however like to express my concerns with regards to the service that I had received on 4 August 2017.</p> <p> <br />Please note that I had booked the cleaning session for 8am. The SweepStar was professional in calling a few minutes before 8 am to inform me that she was running late. She did however only end up at my home two hours later.</p> <p><br />What happened? She struggled to find my home. She informed me that she was using public transport and did not have a Smartphone that would allow her to Google the directions. </p> <p><br />I would like to be clear in saying that I am by NO means blaming her for being late at my home. Rather, I am disturbed that SweepSouth places wome in such precarious positions where they have to find their way to the homes by themselves! The safety of these women is at stake here.</p> <p><br />Luckily, the SweepStar found herself safe at my home, despite being extremely late. Also note that I had asked someone to wait for the woman to arrive and to be around to assist her. The two hour delay also had negative implications on the person who had waited at my home for her arrival and had to make alternative arrangements.</p> <p><br />I have to therefore report that I am not happy with this outcome. I would therefore like to formally ask for some feedback from the responsible persons with regards to this incident. What corrective measures will be taken to ensure that this does not happen again? That the SweepStar will not be late for appointments because they do not have reliable transport or Smartphones to check for directions. </p> <p><br />Also, I do hope that there will be no repercussions for the relevant SweepStar. I was happy with the service that she had provided.</p> <p><br />That being said, I expect a response to this email that will state how this will be corrected; as this has impacted on the efficiency of this service.</p> <p> </p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Heidi </p>
Hi Heidi,
We really appreciate your feedback despite your disappointing experience.
All of our SweepStars have access to our worker app which provides them with all the details of their booking as well as directions. Therefor, all our SweepStars are required to have working Smartphones when they join and work with SweepSouth. They also have a direct line of communication with their worker support team who are available to offer any additional assistance required. It is important to us that our SweepStars offer a high level of service and we will ensure that we support your SweepStar in understanding this.
Our SweepStars are independent contractors and travel independently to their bookings using public transport and as such, they have full control over their schedules and operating areas. When they join the platform, they are required to only select operate areas they are happy to work in i.e. that are close enough and where they are fami**** with transport routes - we guide them in this selection to ensure that they do not have to spend too much on transport.
We would once again like to apologize for your experience and have responded to your email as well.
If you require any further assistance or information please do not hesitate to contact us on *** or ***.
