How is the service monitored?

To ensure that we consistently provide an excellent service, the Customer Service Centre is monitored in a number of ways:

Recorded/monitored Calls
Calls to the Association may be recorded or monitored for training & quality control purposes.

Mystery Shopper
A team of Mystery Shoppers assess and test our level of customer service, by making phone calls, leaving telephone messages and writing letters. The team is made up of resident volunteers who have undergone full training. The team provide us with feedback on the response they received and for example, how easy it was to find the information they needed or how quickly they were dealt with.
