The customer service standards in this framework were set and tested during the reengineering and auditing stages of the BPR exercise. The standards are in two categories; the generic and unique. Generic standards are those applicable across the entire Public Service, while unique standards are those specific to Ministries/Departments. The standards will enable the Public Service to:
Customer Focus
| • |
Deliver to its customers a consistent level of services |
| • |
Inform customers about service delivery expectations and solicit feedback from customers |
| • |
Play a leading role in driving customer service standards and in engaging people and communities in shaping future government activities and legislative framework |
| • |
Identify areas where customer services must integrate with other activities of the Public Service. |
Internal Focus
| • |
Prioritise the elements that are important, allowing them to focus their efforts and resources on achieving realistic improvements within a time-bounded period |
| • |
Hold its officers accountable for the attainment of these standards |
| • |
Identify areas for improvement in the delivery of services |
| • |
Measure and assess compliance with set standards. |
