Introduction
Between July and September 2015 we received 1130 surveys from clients accessing Health Exchange services. This presents a significant increase of 59% return of customer satisfaction survey in Quarter 2 compared to April-June 2015’s result. It also shows that greater emphasis is being placed on our clients’ feedback. Moreover, after introducing customer satisfaction survey forms tailor-made to specific services in Quarter 1, we launched an online version of the survey in July 2015. The latter enables former clients to submit feedback at their convenience via their computers, laptops and smartphones.
During this period, our Net Promoter Score was found to be 87%, strongly indicating that the vast majority of survey respondents would recommend our services to their family members and friends. This is particularly pleasing as many organisations across an array of different sectors consider a score of 30% to be positive. Moreover, Health Exchange’s Net Promoter Score has stayed above 80% since August 2013, showing a consistent quality of service has been provided.
