Providing great experiences for our customers is something we strive to do every time we interact with them. Employees are encouraged to resolve issues and complaints using their own expertise and tools available to them. If they are unable to resolve the complaint they refer it to a central team who coach staff to deal with simple complaints over the phone or take from them the more complex ones. This approach has seen a significant improvement in the speed with which we address complaints, as well as the quality of the resolution and the number of complaints outstanding.
