- Description
- Effective complaints management should be a significant consideration for government. It offers a range of benefits including improved community attitudes towards government and public sector entities, reduced escalation costs and the opportunity for service process improvements. Despite a growing body of research about the benefits of effective complaints management, little is known about how complaints currently progress through government organisations and how effective complaints handling can produce a Return on Investment (ROI) for government. This article analyses how ROI measurements can benefit the government complaints sector. In addition, Social Return on Investment (SROI) measures that are part of a ROI calculation are explored. This article discusses the costs and benefits of effective complaints management by government organisations in a society where the environmental, social and economic impact of government action is increasingly relevant.
