Dear John, I am writing to you regarding the recent set of complaints received concerning our
reception
area
. The majority of the complaints were about the insufficient number of sitting places in the
reception
area
. Currently, there are only four chairs for guests or
visitors
from other organizations which usually leads to some people waiting for their hosts in a standing position.
Second
, the most notorious complaint is about the
air
conditioning system blowing
air
directly at people standing in the waiting
area
. The issue gets worse during the summer months when the AC blasts cool
air
at
visitors
. The
reception
area
is a crucial part of our building and plays an important role in ensuring the security of our employees. As you know there has been some scanning equipment installed recently to screen both
visitors
’ and company employees’ handbags
Therefore
, changing the
reception
area
will negatively impact the integrity of the safety activities provided by our security department and will require a significant amount of investment for demolishing what we have now in place and removing it to a different location. My personal suggestion would be to expand the waiting
area
towards the east direction and get some additional chairs and sofas placed for the convenience of
visitors
. An additional installation of on-wall-TVs would make the waiting process even more entertaining. Regarding the
air
conditioning system, I would recommend installing a new entrance door system with an integrated
air
conditioning unit which will blow
air
at the entrance door rather than in the waiting
area
. These two actions should resolve the complaints and improve the satisfaction rates of our
visitors
.
