Satisfaction Surveys
Your opinion is very important to us and we use a Tenant Satisfaction Measures to ensure we reach our high standards.
We measure ourselves against Management Agreement Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), set by the council and the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) set by the House Regulator. Other targets are set by our Board. The Board set Strategic and Operational KPIs and targets are set at a high level of performance within the sector we operate.
You may be contacted by a company called Acuity, who carries out the surveys on our behalf.
Lessons Learned
We know we don’t always get things right first time, but we are proud that we listen to our customers to continuously improve our services.
We have introduced various initiatives based upon what we have learnt from your feedback, including:
You said … our letters about asbestos were not clear
We have … now updated the letters with regards to asbestos inspections, so it is clear if the inspection is needed for works or if it is a management re-inspection, as required by the HSE guidance.

We have … updated our standards for making good following any intrusive surveys for electrical and asbestos works, so we leave your homes as we found them.
