Dear Raven customer

Last month has been a busy and exciting one for our Customer Services Centre as we continue at pace with our Better Connected transformation programme.

Better Connected is an ambitious two-year technical plan which will allow all residents and staff to access the information they need - anytime, anywhere and on any device. It will connect you to the services you value and trust; saving you time, giving you options and helping you enjoy your home. We recently marked our first major milestones – a new phone system and a new customer relationship system meaning all customer information is now in one place. We are pleased to report that the new features introduced in these systems are already improving our services. “Our customers are much happier now there is a ‘call back’ function so that they don’t have to stay on the line waiting for an advisor during busy periods,” said Toby, Customer Service Team Leader, following the launch of our new phone system. The customer panel which helped to develop the Better Connected project told us they wanted reassurance that a query or request has been recorded on the system - so we now give you a reference number when you call or email us.

Searching for customers on our system has also been made much easier with the introduction of another new feature. If your details are registered on our system, your record will pop up in front our advisor, making it simpler and quicker to deal with your request.

Another new function is a conference call facility. Complaints Officer Sam explained: “The facility is great for customers who give us authority to speak to someone else on their behalf – it makes dealing with their request much faster.”

Raven is on an exciting journey to improve services and make life easier for you to deal with us. Our team is enthusiastic and positive about the changes over the coming months we look forward to sharing progress with you.

If you want to be part of this journey we have lots of exciting opportunities for you to be involved. However much time you may have, we would welcome having you on board.
