  30. Summary Most callers seek policy or general information; only 7% complained. Citizen satisfaction with government call centers remains at 2010 levels. While satisfaction still lags behind the private sector, the gap between higher performing agencies (VA) and some private sector industries is closing. Customer Service Reps have the most impact on satisfaction. However, policies and processes both greatly impact satisfaction as well.

  31. Summary • Reps rate highest for communication skills but it is Rep Knowledge and Demeanor that impact satisfaction the most. Private sector setting the bar high in these areas. • Reps are knowledgeable and professional. Timeliness of answering may be opportunity for improvement. • Biggest driver gap between private sector and government is in Rep Demeanor. • Empowered reps and policies that citizens find rational are critical to satisfaction. • Contact processes are effective in completing interactions and helping citizens find needed information.

  32. Summary • About three-fifths of issues are resolved during the first call. Having to make multiple calls for issue resolution greatly diminishes satisfaction. • Satisfaction drops 10+ points each time an additional call is needed (up to 4 calls). • The median call length is between 11 and 15 minutes. • Satisfaction does drop with call length, but plateaus between 16 and 30 minutes. • Other channels are not widely used to contact agencies. • Those who do use them, typically visit website or send email. • However, other methods not as effective, more difficult to understand and not as timely as interacting with call center.

  33. Summary While about half of callers share their experience, those who do tend to be the less satisfied ones. Overall sentiment about transparency in government is down, but having direct contact with agency call center increases perception of transparency.
