  1. Telephone Access checks Testing the first response

  2. The purpose of the checks Evidence suggests that the majority of tenants who have an issue to report or a query for their landlord, will make that first contact by telephone.How associations deal with these calls has a big impact on customer satisfaction. QHS can help you to monitor and improve your performance in this key area.

  3. What we do • QHS will make calls to each of your advertised numbers on a regular basis • We rate the responses given in terms of how long it took to answer the phone, the level of customer service and accuracy of information provided • We work with associations to develop likely scenarios that will test the knowledge of your staff in key service areas • An overall score is awarded and the results are instantly fed back to you

  4. Options available • You can tailor the scenarios to test your own service standards or local offers • You can purchase the testing at a frequency that suits you • Associations can choose to share their results with other QHS customers and benefit from free benchmarking • The written results are made available instantly and can provide great evidence for improvement teams and scrutiny panels • Some customers choose to have their calls recorded on disc(staff are informed at the end of the call in this case)

  5. Scenario examples • ‘I’m very short sighted and can’t read your customer magazine. Do you have an audio version?’ • ‘Hello, I currently pay my rent weekly. What do I need to do to be able to pay it monthly?’ • ‘I’m ringing on behalf of my mum who is very hard of hearing. Do your offices have hearing loops in case she wants to come in to see a neighbourhood officer?’ • ‘My friend has become homeless. Is there anything you can do to help him/her?’ Our staff will re-phrase scenarios slightly and make logical follow up questions to make the call as natural and realistic as possible!
