The New Performance Framework for Local Authorities & Local
Authority Partnerships sets new indicators for customer contact
performance including reducing avoidable contact. But how well are
local authorities doing today?
The anecdotal evidence is that commercial call centres are
continually enhancing their services - for example telephone calls
will be answered in seconds, emails will be responded to in hours -
but public sector organisations are lagging behind.
To gain an understanding of the reality behind the anecdotes Rostrvm
Solutions conducted a benchmarking survey into the current and
future measurement of 'success' in Local Authority call centres.
The survey was conducted using a combination of telephone interview
and internet survey to provide an indication of how effectively
local authority call centres are delivering service to the changing
customer.
