Review of Policies and Procedures

CityWest Homes is currently implementing a Customer Excellence project which aims to improve on the existing 3 star service. The project has a number of different elements including potential for revised IT systems and, in association with Acclaim Consulting, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of the organisation's policies and procedures. This project is designed to be cross cutting across all service areas and will take account of and maximize the opportunities afforded by the potential new technology which is likely to become available over the next two years.

In order to allow the organisation to continue to improve in the future, the project also includes for the training of an in-house resource. This project is an exciting opportunity to assist an organisation which is already rated as excellent to further improve service delivery and customer satisfaction using innovative approaches and with the benefits of new technology.
