We Hear You
‘We Hear You’ focusses on how we are listening to your feedback and taking learnings from complaints to improve our processes and procedures.
Learning from complaints
We view complaints as an opportunity to learn and to be used to improve the quality of service we provide. We understand that there are learnings from your complaint and we’re committed to taking action and improving our services to demonstrate our core values of trust, understanding and care.
Here are some recent examples of how we’ve learned from complaints:

We’ve designed and implemented new damp and mould functionality on our internal system, which allows us to create a schedule of works and better co-ordinate appointments. It also prompts our staff to consider any impact of recorded vulnerabilities or impairments.

It’s not just through complaints we look to make changes. We also take learnings from survey feedback, Tenant Satisfaction Measures surveys, instant repairs feedback and every day conversations because – Every Interaction Matters.
