In this second session from our three-part series, we will look at the Consumer Duty and what it means for the processes that sit in, and around, the handling of customer complaints.

The challenge with processes is that they become very familiar and normal, and unless something big happens to shine a spotlight on an issue, it’s not always easy to spot a part of a process that’s gone rogue or is no longer working as it should be.

One of the core principles to come out of the Duty is that firms know who their customers are, and they are able to build and provide processes and services around them to meet their needs. We will use this lens in this session to unpick the processes that customers make when raising their complaint, looking at their overall customer experience from start to finish.

We will also look at what processes and approaches work; from key performance indicators and the signs of success to how, who and where to get feedback and insight from.

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Know how your current complaints process measures up against the Duty
  • Identify areas to improve customer experience throughout the complaint journey
  • Explore different ways to know and measure if good outcomes are being reached
  • Have reassurance about where you’re on track and highlight where there may still be more to do
