Effective complaints handling
Verita are experienced in dealing with all areas of complaint management. We understand that although complaints can seem negative, they are actually a good thing. Here are five tips to view complaint handling as a positive form of feedback.
1. View complaints as a source of good data
At this point in time, data is a commodity. Viewing complaints as a form of data allows you and your business to harness free information that points you in the direction of improvement. You can physically use this information to plot and track your progress.
2. Complaints tell you what people think of your services
Complaints tell you where people feel you have room for improvement. If you harness this information you should be able to identify what areas of your business need refining, and where you can do better.
3. Allow you to keep your finger on the pulse
New complaints should be seen as a form of current feedback, they tell you what is wrong at that point in time. This allows you to acknowledge your current standings and how to keep up with the pace of your customers or clientele.
4. Complaints tell you things you don’t want to hear
Organisations, big or small, always want to hear positive comments. But where there are negative comments, there comes the opportunity to improve.
“What an organisation wants to hear is inversely related to what it needs to hear”
5. They encourage communication
Complaints encourage communication between both the organisation and the user. By quickly engaging in communication and discussing the problems at hand, problems will be understood sooner and hopefully resolved effectively.
