Customer satisfaction in the community housing sector is strongly influenced by the way an organisation manages neighbour disputes and anti-social behaviour issues.
Knowing the difference between a neighbour dispute and anti-social behaviour and having the tools to manage both issues with confidence, can make the difference between service excellence and a service complaint.
This training program will pave the way for service excellence in ASB case management.
