1.4 Key Insights – Business

Business Satisfaction

4. The business CSI hasseen a slight decreasein performance.Satisfaction andexpectations havestabilised andcomparison to ideal hasdecreased.

6. Perceptions of service quality (measured through driver performance) hasstabilised this quarter.

5. The businesscustomer effort scorehas decreased (statistically significant).

• Business CSI has decreased (not statistically significant) to 80.7 from 81.2. This result is below thePremiers Priority Target of 81.16. This decrease in CSI is due to the stabilisation of overall satisfactionand the decrease in expectation and comparison to ideal scores (statistically significant) compared tolast quarter.

• The satisfaction gap to expectation has decreased by 0.1 compared to last quarter. This resultindicates that although perceptions of performance are moving closer to meeting expectations,businesses have decreasing expectations of NSW Government services.

• The Roy Morgan Business Confidence index decreased by 3 points in the last quarter from 105.9 (January 2019) to 102.9 (April 2019). The decrease in business confidence mirrors the slight decrease in the business CSI seen this quarter.

*

• The business customer effort score (CES) has decreased (statistically significant) to 6.1 this quarterfrom 6.4 last quarter resulting in NSW Government services having the 2nd lowest effort when compared to other industries This indicates that businesses are finding it easier to interact with NSW Government services.

• The result this quarter is consistent with historical trends observed since 2017, where businesscustomer effort decreased from Q1 to Q2.

• This decrease in business effort mirrors a decrease in effort across all other sectors, except banks.Notably, banks experienced a statistically significant increase in effort when compared to Q2 2018.

• Although the decrease in effort is a positive change in businesses overall experience with NSWGovernment services, this decrease does not influence the CSI as the CSI and CES are not correlated.

• All satisfaction drivers across employees, values, processes and goals have stabilised as compared tolast quarter.

• Following the significant uplift in driver performance in Q4 2018, this performance has beenmaintained this quarter, with no significant decrease for any driver.

Consumer 2.2 Satisfaction, Expectation and Comparison to Ideal – Consumer (1/2) The CSI is composite of the following key measures: expectation, satisfaction and comparison to idea service. All three key measures experienced a statistically significant increase when compared to Q1 2019 attributing to the significant uplift in the CSI. The satisfaction gap to expectation has widened slightly by 0.1. This is due to a larger increase in expectation than satisfaction this quarter. This result indicates that consumers continue to have high expectation of NSW Government services but service performance is close to meeting these high expectation.

• Overall, there has been positive sentiment supporting the increasein CSI for NSW Government services

• Consumers positively mentioned that having the option to utiliseonline channels and services provides them greater flexibility tocomplete processes and receive status updates via their preferredchannel when interacting with government services

• Consumers have also expressed positivity to government servicesdue to recent improvements in infrastructure supporting servicedelivery such as refurbished service centres. Customers mentionthat these changes make it easier to interact with services due togreater availability of staff and information, and increase timeefficiencies during dealings with government services

2.3 Findings on Key Measures – Qualitative Consumer

• Consumers have expressed feeling a sense of trust and reliabilitywith the service if they are met with staff that display empathy andeffective communication during the process

• Consumers are increasingly impressed by the product knowledgeand empathy of staff especially within the service categories ofemergency services and social services. Consumers have statedthat this has allowed them to build greater trust with services

Employee drivers have contributed to increasing consumer satisfaction

“When I think about the changes I’ve seen to government services in last 12 months, I feel relief because, most of the information and

enquiries can be solved and done online. I really don’t want to waste tons of time by visiting centres

”“I think there have been a lot of changes implemented in the last 12months, change to the service centres, being open all weekend,

Green slip rebate are all good positive changes to happen. The new centres are so much brighter, open, friendly and staff are pleasant

and nice to you

” “ My experience has improved over the last few months by virtue of the move to making services more accessible through online self service portals. This reflects an understanding on behalf of the

government the importance of allowing users to access services they need in a flexible manner

” “ I felt really close and warm when I met the personnel from the school, it gave me the feeling of trust. This can be maintained as

long as those people happy and their expectation from the government is met

” “Shout out to the very helpful and delightful employee at Service NSW Brookvale who guided me through and sped up process of applying

for a replacement driver licence last month

Business Confidence Index

CSI

CSI Sensis Business Confidence Index

Business Confidence (Sensis) and Business CSI

About the Sensis Business Confidence Index:. This index is calculated by subtracting the number of respondents who are negative about the current economic climate from the number that are positive (n=1,000 small and medium Australian businesses per quarter). Data points for the Sensis index are taken from the corresponding month of QPCS/CSMS fieldwork. https://www.sensis.com.au/about/sensis-business-index

The decrease in business CSI mirrors the results of the Roy Morgan Business Confidence Index and the Sensis Business Confidence Index. The Roy Morgan index experienced a decrease of 3.0 when compared to Q1 2019 and the Sensis Index decreased by 16 when compared to Q1 2019. The trends of the Roy Morgan Index, Sensis Index and the business CSI indicates that businesses have decreasing confidence and perceptions of their ability to effectively manage their business in the current economic environment.

2.7 Findings on Key Measures – Qualitative

Businesses show mixed sentiment towards recent changes

Businesses have a lower expectation towards government processes

“ I would say that a majority of the changes haven't improved my experience with dealing with the relevant Govt. Services.

Compliance has been become a top priority and trying to adhere to some of the changes has been challenging and also frustrating.

“When I think about the changes I’ve seen to government services in the last 12 months I feel in the last 12 months that the government

approach has become more personal and much more approachable. I like that you get an email from a genuine person

rather than just an auto response and a follow up call from the same person really makes you feel like your concerns matter

“ I feel really happy as they have improved immensely by making customer service a place you can do a lot of different things…a lot

more things can be done online which is much less time consuming …which really helps for small business owners

” “ Duplicating steps is frustrating, a waste of time and makes me que

stion whether the process I'm following is accurate or not. I don't want to be led down a rabbit hole where you need to go to various

sites, departments, organisations just to complete one process

” “I would be angry I found any duplicative steps in a process as I would find it a waste of time – where I could spend more time on my

business. If there were duplicative steps within a process - it would make me question if it was reputable and trustworthy source or not.

” “Over the phone is always hard as they don't have the customer and their documents in front of them

• Businesses have expressed mixed sentiment towards the changeswithin government services and overall satisfaction

• On one side, businesses have mentioned that the introduction ofonline channels has improved their experience. It provides greaterconvenience and status transparency during the process

• On the other hand, businesses have expressed the need foreffective communication between offline and online channels tocreate a more seamless experience. This potentially removesduplicative steps in the process as businesses need to uploaddocuments for approval and also prove these documents in person

• Businesses want to focus efforts on their business and customers.Hence, a lack of integration between channels can causeduplicative steps, reducing the time spent on growing the business

• Businesses mentioned that phone and online channels wereunable to provide a reliable seamless experience with a tailoredservice aligned to their needs and situation. Although expectationshave not been met, offline channels are perceived to be moreapproachable, as they allow for a more personal interaction

Comparing to Q2 2018, the CES has decreased by 0.2 points (not statistically significant) among consumers to 5.8/10 from 6.0/10 and has increased by 0.1 points (not statistically significant) among businesses to 6.1/10 from 6.0/10. Since 2017, a seasonal decrease in business CES from Q1 to Q2 has been observed.

• Businesses have mentioned theefficiencies of having more digitallyavailable services

• These services allow businesses toconduct multiple processessimultaneously, saving time andallowing them to be proactivelyinformed of their status via theirpreferred channel

• Information about the process isproactively provided online andbusinesses are able to completeprocesses at their own conveniencewhich reduces the effort duringdealings with government services

“I find it handy to just go online whilst travelling…also I can renew my

business licences online and get a discount for doing so

” “ Generally being informed … via text works really well and I’m satisfied

”Statistically significant movement from previous quarter at 95% confidence level *The lower the average Customer Effort Score, the easier customers perceive interactions to be with different services. Statistically significant movement from same quarter previous year at 95% confidence level A decrease in CES is a positive shift.

3.3 Key Drivers of Satisfaction – Qualitative Research

Quality of service and accountability drive satisfaction

• Especially important in emergency and social services, consumers feelthat empathetic employees who are open and honest helped improvesatisfaction. This is crucial as the most important points throughout theprocess as highlighted by consumers and businesses, relate to face toface interactions rather than online channels

*

• Further support is seen via negative experiences with employees wholacked product knowledge. This contributed to dissatisfaction during anexperience, with many consumers stating this as a reason for making itdifficult to build trust with the service

• However, there are differences between consumers and businesses.Empathy and communication as well as honesty and integrity iscommonly addressed as a key driver of satisfaction whilst, efficiency andeffectiveness is a key theme for businesses. This is due to theimportance of time and need for efficient processes within businesses

• Quality of service is key to improving satisfaction. Forconsumers, having simple language and being guided throughthe process helps ease the interaction with governmentservices. For businesses, the convenience of being able tocomplete multiple processes helps to decrease effort

• For consumers, accountability has also contributed tosatisfaction, with customers that interacted with accountablestaff and services having greater trust and satisfaction. Beingable to provide status updates via a preferred channel has alsobeen important to increasing satisfaction

• Customers showed positivity towards services that providedstatus updates on time, via their preferred channel anddelivered on what was promised

“We were greeted nicely and the client I was assisting was

treated with the utmost respect …everything was handled

professionally, quickly, respectfully, no double

handling and I was impressed

” ”

“ Staff training so that staff can find the information they need in the system…in

timely fashion would be another driver. I think if processes are designed to be time efficient, simple and require the minimum

level of updates be an essential precursor to achieving customer satisfaction and trust

“ I was emailed with a written response confirming receipt of my written

complaint with a reference number which outlined when I would receive a call…After speaking to them I received a further email outlining

what steps to take and when I would be contacted again and then received a further phone call asking if I needed anymore help or advice

” *Importance is commonly defined by stages within a process which require the most effort from both respondents and government services Insights from Q2 Qualitative Discussion

4.3 Impact of Channel on Expectations – Qualitative Research

Face to face interactions support satisfaction via employee drivers

• Face to face interactions help to support satisfaction as staff canprovide a highly empathetic and personal service. Comprehensiveproduct knowledge was identified as key to these staff interactions

• In addition, great service quality by having the right supportiveinfrastructure is also important. This creates efficiencies during theprocess, such as Roads where there are efficient ticketing systems,helping to exceed expectations

Online channels need to be integrated seamlessly to reduce effort

• Customers acknowledge that NSW Government online processes have contributed to the satisfaction and expectation of government services due to greater convenience and time efficiencies. Havingmultiple channels allows them to receive status updates and conduct dealings via their preferred channel, reducing the need to travel to a branch or explain complications over the phone

• Businesses commonly initiate processes via an online channel andonly interact face to face if necessary. This is creates duplications andtime inefficiencies, which reduces customer satisfaction. Hence, online channels need to be seamlessly integrated with offline channels through constant communication

“The fact that the service assistant did as she said she would made me trust the service provider and the process in that they did what

they say they would, and therefore increased my satisfaction. It meant that I did not have to chase for an answer.

” “I feel like the staff were friendly (and) patient…and wanted to do all they could to get a positive outcome for me. I feel it really made

me trust the process more when I was getting calls from the same person as I feel like had a genuine interest in the process

” “ Transitioning to an App based notification would work...such an example would be a great customer experience as it consolidates all communications within one platform, speeds up the receipt of

communications

” “ I found that the NSW Service centre has a seamless process in place which all staff and customers appear to benefit from,

everything was handled professionally, quickly, respectfully, no double handling and I was impressed with it as a whole and they

could be used as a benchmark for other NSW Govt Offices / Departments.

” “Just to complete one process. It makes me question whether these departments…actually communicate with one another.

Appendix B: Background - Research Scope and Approach

In scope services • The QPCS Methodology is aligned to the Annual Customer SatisfactionMeasurement Survey (CSMS) approach:

• Captures feedback across 23 different NSW Government services (describedin the customers language).

• Feedback received from customers about each of the individual services isaggregated to provide a view of the performance of NSW Governmentservices overall.

• Each respondent provides feedback regarding one or two services (as aresult, the total number of responses received across services is greaterthan the total number of customers who completed the survey).

• The survey was completed from 15th April 2019 to 23rd April 2019 and results aretherefore reflective of experiences with services over the six months prior i.e. fromOctober 2018 to April 2019.

• The Q2 2019 QPCS was completed with:

• N = 1,003 consumers, and

• N = 1,009 businesses

• As each respondent provides feedback regarding one or two services, the Q2 2019QPCS number of responses:

• N = 1,600 for consumers, and

• N = 1,394 for businesses

Time We are here

General Considerations:

Appendix B: Background - Key Considerations for Interpreting QPCS Insights

• The QPCS results do not replace the Annual CSMS results, but rather provide a directional indication of the shift in the results.

• Although the QPCS sample characteristics are closely representative of the NSW population, different customers have been surveyed and as such the results are directional indicators of shifts in the Annual CSMS results only.

• The margin of error (MoE) for the QPCS needs to be considered wheninterpreting the results.

Considerations for interpreting the QPCS data points:

• The QPCS results need to be interpreted in the context of the time of the year and in light of events in order to normalise seasonal trends in the data.Therefore, overall caution should be taken when interpreting the QPCS findings until a minimum of a full year of results has been collected, so that anyseasonal impacts can be examined and adjusted accordingly.

• Contextual factors for the results (Q2 2019) have been considered and include factors such as train delays and strikes, stadium upgrades and light railconstruction. Contextual factors are further explored as part of the analysis of the summary report.

• In the slides, the results of Q2 2019 QPCS have been compared to the results of all QPCS starting from Q4 2016 and CSMS starting from 2015. Significancetesting is based on the comparison to Q2 2018 and Q1 2019 results at 95% confidence level. We have allowed the longitudinal trend analysis for CSMS toQPCS having applied a 95% confidence level to both CSMS and QPCS datasets.

• The Annual CSMS results have been provided as additional context for the QPCS data point and should not be used as a comparison to QPCS results.

• A longitudinal dataset will need to be built over time in order to identify 'real' trends in the QPCS results and to strengthen the reliability and validity of anyconclusions drawn.

Appendix C: QPCS Qualitative and Quantitative Research - Approach Q2 2019 QPCS Qualitative Research:

Qualitative research complements the QPCS survey results by providing further insights and context into the results of the quantitative survey. In Q2 2019, the qualitative research will provide insight into the Special Interest Topic – Process and status transparency.

An online discussion forum was used as the qualitative research approach in Q2 2019 QPCS. There were 2 online discussion forums, a consumer group and a business group. Participants from each group were recruited from the respondents of Q2 2019 QPCS survey with a mix of demographics. The 3-day online discussion forums ran from 13th to 15th May 2019 for the consumer group and 15th to 21st May 2019 for the business group. Participants were required to answer all the pre-designed questions and encouraged to comment on other people’s posts. Moderators monitored the two forums and follow up questions were posted which prompted to participants to make sure sufficient insights were captured. The final responses came in both text and video formats which provided an in-depth understanding of baseline measures of Q2 2019 and the SIT topic.

Q2 2019 QPCS Quantitative Research:

The approach undertaken to assess changes between the CSMS results and the QPCS topline results is outlined below:

• In order to compare the CSMS topline results against the QPCS topline results, the confidence level of CSMS (typically 99%) has beenadjusted to 95% confidence level (in line with that of the QPCS). This was undertaken in order to make the significance testingcomparable between CSMS and QPCS results

• In doing this however, it should be noted that the survey methodology differs for CSMS versus QPCS in the following ways, and should beinterpreted with caution:

• Respondents are asked about their direct dealings with a service reflecting on their last 12 months in CSMS but the last 6 monthsin the QPCS, therefore recall about their experience differs

• Sample size varies greatly i.e. 2018 CSMS sample size was n=6,733 versus 2018 Q4 QPCS sample size of n=1,545 for consumers(this can impact margin of error which directly impacts significance testing)

• 99% confidence interval is used to test significance of results for the CSMS results versus 95% confidence interval which is used totest significance of the QPCS results

Appendix C: QPCS Qualitative Research - Overview of Online Discussion Forum Approach

Approach:

• Participants were recruited from the respondents of Q2 2019 QPCS survey. Participants come from backgrounds with a mix of age, gender, location and experience interacting with NSW Government services

• The online discussion forums ran from 13th to 15th May 2019 for the consumer group and 15th to 21nd May 2019 for the business group.

• Participants were asked to provide insights into their experiences around process and status transparency.

Activity One: Unpacking the quantitative insights

Using the quantitative questions and responses as a base, we will ask the participants questions around the following:

Activity Two: Storyboard of Process Transparency

Activity Three: Drawing process transparency best practice from other real-world examples

• What makes a processtransparent and why?

• How are participants keptinformed of their status andhow does this impact theirsatisfaction with the service overall?

Participants will recall their journey, pain points, and moments of delight from a NSW Government process they experienced. This can be a linear path or a storyboard.

Following this, participants will add in key points of status transparency

Using examples of tools used to track the status of a process, we will seek to understand what specific features and attributes are important and useful for customers.

Customers can also reflect on how these aspects would improve their experience if applied to a recent interaction with a NSW Government service.

Appendix F: Terminology Definitions

To ensure consistency in reporting significance testing, the below table of definitions has been developed and will be used for all future reporting for CSMS and QPCS.

Terminology Definition Example

Remain Stable Rounded numerical difference between current period result and the previous period result is less than 0.1 (in line with the chart visualisations).

Satisfaction score moved from 8.07 to 8.12 (i.e. actual difference is 0.05). In this case, rounded values are both 8.1 thus the results remained stable

Increase/Decrease Rounded numerical difference between current period outcome measures and the previous period result is larger than or equal to 0.1 (in line with the chart visualisations).

Satisfaction score moved from 8.07 to 8.21 (i.e. actual difference is 0.14). In this case, the rounded value moved from 8.1 to 8.2 thus the result increased.

Statistically significant Statistically significant movement (decrease or increase) from the previous period at 95% confidence level

Not statistically significant No statistically significant movement (decrease or increase) detected from the previous period at 95% confidence level

Visual difference Rounding numbers up to one decimal place and updating commentary based on visible difference in charts

Satisfaction score increased from 7.66 to 7.84 (i.e. actual difference is 0.18. In this case rounded values are 7.7 and 7.8, thus difference will be stated as increase of 0.1
