  • Customer Satisfaction Index June/July 2016

    Results

  • Introduction

    This report presents the results for the Customer Satisfaction Index survey undertaken in June/July 2016.

    The objectives of the research were:

    • For importance, find out our customers’ requirements and their relative importance

    • For satisfaction, find out our customers’ perception of our performance

    • To create Priorities for Improvement (to deliver residents’ satisfaction and build loyalty, organisations must match their performance with residents’ priorities and these PFIs are an indication of whether this is happening or not). Therefore, PFIs are extremely useful in deciding where best to focus resources on making the improvements that will contribute most to increasing residents’ satisfaction.

    • To create a Satisfaction Index (an overall measure of customer satisfaction which can be monitored over time)

    A standard satisfaction survey just measures residents’ satisfaction with the services an organisation provides. However, a Satisfaction Index survey measures whether it is ‘doing best what matters most to their residents’.

  • Methodology

    The first survey of this kind for all public-facing services was undertaken in 2002. Focus groups were

    held to establish how important or unimportant chosen topic areas were to residents over time.

    The first part of the discussions looked at the attendees’ feelings of satisfaction and dissatisfaction

    with the Council in various subject areas. The second part of the discussions concentrated on the

    relative importance of each of the topic areas to those individuals. Subsequently using knowledge of

    what is becoming more or less important in services and using a follow up focus group, amendments

    to the original survey have taken place over time.

    It must be recognised that all the topics within the survey are important and in their own right should

    be priorities for the Council. However, the survey gives the Council a way of ranking these priorities

    and it is these which the Council must look to improve. In this instance, a 10 point scale has been

    recommended as good practice for this type of “gap analysis” research.

    Towards the end of June 2016, a questionnaire was sent to 5000 randomly selected named residents off the edited electoral role. They were given three weeks to complete the survey. 807 questionnaires were returned in the timeframe allowed, in addition 25 were returned to sender and 6 unwilling to complete it for various reasons. A response rate of 16.2% was achieved.

    For the comparatively long length of questionnaire, this is an expected response. According to specialists in this field, a return of 15-20% is the norm for this sort of research. On an observed statistic of 70%, the standard error of +/- 3.1% was achieved in this survey.

  • Summary of Findings (I)

    The following are based on all respondents: -

    The overall satisfaction score for all Council services is 79.1%, an increase of 1.5

    percentage points on 2012. This is the highest score since the survey began in 2002.

    The highest rated score for a service is 86.6% - Refuse and Recycling. The lowest

    rated services are Planning Applications (69.9%), then Public Toilets (75.6%).

    In 2016, all services have seen an increase in their overall score, notably Leisure

    Centres (+2.9%), Street Cleaning (+2.5%) and Refuse/Recycling (+2.4%). Council

    Tax witnessed the smallest increase at +0.1%.

    Compared against all 78 requirements used, the five highest scoring (with the lowest

    gap) were: collection of food waste in green bins, the opening times of SDC offices,

    ease of moving wheelie bins around, the variety of equipment available in play areas

    and the helpfulness of refuse/recycling collectors.

    The lowest scoring, which are the top priorities for improvement (with the highest

    gap) were: keeping promises and commitments (planning), the cost of car parking,

    explanation of a decision made (planning), any objections made to a planning

    application are considered, returning telephone calls in planning and being able to

    contact the relevant person who can resolve my query on first contact in planning.

  • Summary of Findings (II)

    The following summarises the best and worst aspects for each service surveyed for “all respondents”.

  • Summary of Findings (III)

    The following are based on users of a service: -

    The overall satisfaction score for users of Council services in 2016 is 75.7%, a 0.9% increase on 2014,

    the highest recorded score since the survey began in 2002.

    The highest rated score for users of a service is for Council Tax (83.0%), with the lowest being for

    Planning Applications (65.1%).

    Compared with 2014, the satisfaction of residents rose by 4.4 percentage points for those who had

    used the Leisure Centres; Parking was up 2.6 points and Play Areas was up 2.5 points. Five areas fell

    with Housing (-2.0%) and Council Tax (-0.9%) were the two areas with the highest decreases. Caution

    must be given for the scores for Housing and Environmental Health as the base sizes were only 60 and

    55 respectively.

    The highest rated service aspects for users were the opening times of SDC offices, being able to contact

    the relevant person who can resolve my query at first contact in Council Tax, professionalism of staff in

    Council Tax, explanation of a decision made in Council Tax and the knowledge of Council Tax staff.

    Interestingly this is the exact same order as 2014.

    The lowest rated aspects for users were the keeping promises and commitments (planning), noise

    control within your area, cost of car parking, returning your telephone calls (planning) and explanation

    of a decision made (planning). Interestingly this is the exact same order as 2014.

  • Summary of Findings (V)

    The overall mean score for satisfaction with Council services using the CSI approach in 2016 is

    7.45, 0.16 higher than that achieved in 2014 and the highest so far since the CSI began in

    2002.

    Respondents were asked to make additional comments. These are included in a separate

    document and has been passed on to the services.

  • How we calculate the Customer Satisfaction Index

    This example contains 10 requirements for a particular service:

    Step 1. List all the average importance scores for each requirement and total them up.

    Step 2. Calculate the percentage each average importance score is of the total of importance scores. This is the “weighted importance score” and adds up to 100%.

    Step 3. Multiply the average satisfaction scores by the weighted importance scores, i.e. average satisfaction score (6.22) multiplied by weighted importance score (11.01%) equals 0.68.

    Step 4. Add up the weighted satisfaction scores.

    Step 5. Multiply the total of the weighted satisfaction scores by 10 to give us the Satisfaction Index expressed as a percentage.

    When using the 10 point scale for satisfaction, 7 is regarded as an “acceptable performance”, with 8 and above being the target to be achieved in the future.
