Trade Department customer group looks for new ideas to improve services
The Trade Department's Customer Liaison Group is mounting an exercise to recruit new blood in its continuing quest for new ideas to further improve the department's services for traders.
The Director-General of Trade, Mr Tony Miller, has written to the department's clients encouraging their staff to join as members of the group for the year 1995-96.
"It is our belief that customer feedback is essential for service improvements,' Mr Miller tells his clients in his letter.
"The members we have in mind are employees of companies registered with the department who are directly responsible for or involved in the processing of licence and certificate applications." First set up last year, the customer liaison group serves as an additional channel of communication between the department and its
customers.
Chaired by Mr Victor Cha Mou-zing, a non-official member of the Textiles Advisory Board, the group aims at soliciting members' ideas on improvements of the department's services to facilitate planning and implementation. It also serves to build up a cordial customer relationship and enhance customer's understanding of the department's operations and services.
Apart from meeting quarterly, the group organises various activities, such as workshops on origin certification, small group discussions on customer services, factory visits and tours of the department's licensing offices. Service users aged 18 and above may, with the endorsement of their employer where applicable, apply by completing a reply form and returning it to the department on or before March 25.
