How to understand the needs of your customers

This information sheet, written by Social Enterprise Works will help you to improve the way you collect information from and about your customers and use the information to plan future improvements to your products and services or other aspects of your organisation.

The information sheet is structured on the basis of a number of simple questions that will help you plan how to collect information from and about your customers.

Customer Care – Guidance Notes

It is important to consider a Customer Care Policy as part of the marketing and promotion of an organisation. The way that organisations care for their customers effects their image and reputation and this reputation communicated through word of mouth between customers.

COMING SOON: Our free performance survey will be added to our site in October, so watch this space!

Our Perform Diagnostic is a free online staff survey that collates staff perceptions of the organisations performance.

This questionnaire has 27 questions covering 9 key areas: Leadership; Policy and Strategy; People; Partnerships and resources; Processes; Customer Results; People Results, Society Results, Key Performance Results

When complete the software compiles a final report identifying organisational strengths and areas for improvement using a traffic light system.

How an organisation can use the report:

The report provides an organisation with an overview of perceived strengths and areas for improvement, armed with this information senior managers and/or the performance improvement team can do further analysis to identify what the real issues are and draw up a plan to make improvements.
