Habinteg has recently installed a new phone system with the aim of increasing efficiency when handling tenants’ calls.
The old way wasn’t working
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, our customer service team, Habinteg Direct, have been working from home using mobile phones. This meant they were unable to transfer calls or keep tenants on hold while they chased an update from a contractor.
It also meant that tenants trying to get through to Habinteg were on hold for longer as the customer service team were busy on calls or making outgoing calls.
With the new Avaya phone system:
Habinteg Senior Customer Services Support Officer Nuala Tate, said: “We recognise how important it is for tenants to get through to us easily when they need to. As it’s likely staff will be working from home for a while longer, we needed a system to communicate with tenants more swiftly and efficiently.
“We want to ensure we offer our tenants as efficient a service as possible as we know they don't want to spend a long time waiting on the phone when they call us.
“The Habinteg Direct team is still getting to grips with the new system, but as they become more confident with it, the service we provide to tenants will get better and better.”
