Customers have increasingly high expectations of the public services they receive, with the power to express dissatisfaction in the very public forums of social media.
Local councils need to deal with customer complaints and feedback promptly and efficiently, whilst analysing the results to identify ways they can improve service delivery where customers are dissatisfied with current performance.
A positive culture, in which managers and staff welcome complaints and feedback as opportunities to learn, is a signature of high performing local government services.
Whilst Local Government Ombudsmen across Australia report 'pockets of good practice' from some councils, they also identify the need for further work to improve consistency, performance and culture in the way councils deal with complaints.
This intensive one day masterclass helps Local Government service leaders understand what's required to implement a culture of learning and improvement from complaints in their council.
We'll use Local Government case study exercises, research into complainant behaviour, interactive discussion exercises exploring your own strengths and improvement areas, and the AS/NZ 10002:2014 Standard for Complaints Management to help you develop an action plan to address your council's unique needs.
Unfortunately, New Zealand and Australian Government COVID-19 travel restrictions mean our scheduled in-person events cannot proceed.
