There is also emphasis placed on developing customer Insight, understanding the user’s experience and robust measurement of service satisfaction.
Cordale was highlighted as ‘compliant plus’ for areas, including customer engagement, access to services and the quality of the first point of contact, culture and leadership, and partnership working.
At the end of the two-day assessment, conducted earlier this month, the award assessor praised the Cordale team for the work it does, stating that Cordale demonstrated how it delivers the best possible customer service and makes a significant difference in its community.
When presenting the certificate to the Cordale Team, Margaret McCallion, Cordale Chairperson, said: We were delighted to receive this recognition.
