Mystery Customers Newsletter 2
Hello,
I hope you are well and having a good week so far.
We are very happy to announce that over 100 of you have already signed up to Mystery Customers, so thank you to everyone who has registered. Your feedback has been very insightful and most of it has been positive, so thank you for letting us know what works so that we can continue doing those things. We have also heard your suggestions for improvement, so we will actively work on those areas to make the experience better for you when using our services. Your participation and feedback is helping us to improve, so we are very grateful for your support!
Here is the feedback provided between the 1st of July and the 30th of September:
Prize draw winner:This is the second time that we have run our prize draw that takes place every three months. We would like to congratulate Keith who is the winner of our second prize draw, and we will contact you directly to arrange your prize. We have included more information about how you can enter the prize draw at the end of this newsletter.
Spotlight on Building Safety:
Thanks to feedback from our Mystery Customers, we have been able to identify and address key repairs to enhance Building Safety over the past few months. We are pleased to say that the reported issues have now been resolved, and we want to thank everyone who helped bring these to our attention.
Your input is very important as it helps to keep our buildings safe. If you spot anything that needs repairing, whether in your home or communal areas, please report it as soon as possible. Don’t forget, by completing the Mystery Customers questionnaire, you’ll also be entered into our quarterly prize draw!
Your reports make a real difference, so thank you again for helping us improve Building Safety for everyone!
Our Next Steps:
We’re happy to hear that most of your feedback so far has been positive, and we are committed to continuing doing the things that you have told us are working well. Your insights are key to helping us maintain and improve our services.
Thanks to your feedback, we have identified a few areas for improvement, which we have added to our improvement plan:
- Ensure staff always introduce themselves with their name and job title at the start of each call.
- Explore the possibility of allowing you to update your email address through MyDacorum.
- Add relevant contact details to the web pages that you visited.
- Investigate delays into communal repairs.
Dacorum Borough Council is overseeing the enhancements to the website and MyDacorum, whilst Cardo is leading the improvements to the repairs service. We will be collaborating closely with them to ensure upgrades are successfully delivered.
We will keep you updated on the progress that we make toward these improvements. You will receive an update on these actions in the next newsletter. Thank you again for helping us to serve you better!
Training:
We are currently working with TPAS, experts in tenant engagement. They offer a Mystery Shopping training session, and we'd like to organise one for anyone interested. If you’d like to join, please complete the poll on the Mystery Customers platform. If we get enough interest, we will arrange a session.
Focus Group:
For those who want to offer more detailed feedback, we would be happy to invite you to join a focus group. This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and directly shape our improvement efforts. Focus groups explore a specific theme, and this could be repairs, the website, MyDacorum or another service that we provide. If you would be interested in this, let us know through the feedback section on the Mystery Customers platform, and tell us what theme you would be interested in discussing.
