Complaints Assist
Complaints Assist facilitates organisational management of complaints. Complaints can be received by one or more staff members and are electronically distributed to the department / individual responsible for addressing the complaint(s). The assigned respondent updates the complaint electronically and, once complete, closes the call. An electronic complaints register and other reports can be generated as required.
- The Complaint Source captures the complaint details on the online system. For each complaint, a respondent is identified.
- The respondent(s) will review the complaint and update progress towards completion on the system by updating the completion status and documenting all relevant supporting information.
- The respondent(s) will mark the complaint as closed once it has been completely addressed. This action updates the user’s personal dashboard.
- The management team can access the system to provide support and guidance to the respondent(s) in closing complaints.
- Users can generate reports and graphs as required. The presented information is supported by the automated online activity log.
