“This month we’ve received some lovely feedback from residents about our repairs, maintenance, and compliance services”, said Kathryn.
“We love hearing your feedback because ultimately as our residents, you know our services best.
“I encourage every resident to share their thoughts and experiences, because how else will we learn what matters most to you or understand how we can do a better job?
“As well as that, it’s also important to celebrate staff when things do go right so we can recreate this experience for others in the future.
"We're committed to making sure that our services continue to work for you, so if you feel we could do something better or you just want to thank a member of staff for going above and beyond, it's really important you let us know by making a complaint or compliment so we can do something about it.
"Our process formalizes your feedback and ensures we act on it. It also gives you an opportunity to challenge the outcome of the process, if you feel we haven't taken the appropriate action to resolve things.
"We want to hear from more of you about how you think we're doing! To give you a flavour, I've listed some examples and where residents told us we need to improve things, I've provided the actions we took as a direct result of that feedback too."
Amy | Boiler breakdown
‘My boiler had broken down which left me with no hot water. I visited Staffs Housing’s head office to report the issue and the team went above and beyond to resolve it. The receptionist was particularly helpful and allowed me to calm down before she could understand my situation. In all my years of speaking to customer service staff, I must say I’ve never had such a positive experience. I’d like to pass on my thanks to the receptionist and everyone involved for helping me to resolve my repair issues quickly and efficiently.’
Jillian | Apartment repair
‘I visited Staffs Housing’s head office recently after experiencing issues. The person that dealt with me couldn’t have been more helpful. They allowed me to fully explain what was going on and helped me to explore the best options to get it resolved. I’m super grateful and I’d just like to say a thank you. We’re quick to criticise when things go wrong, so I thought it was about time I passed on my thanks.’
