To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the number of telephone lines available for use by jobseekers in the Kings Heath Job Centre has been reduced. [HL2332]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the number of telephone lines available for use by jobseekers in the Kings Heath Job Centre has been reduced. [HL2332]
As part of the department's Service Modernisation Agenda, a number of internet access devices (IADs) have been installed in job centres. These devices have been introduced so that claimants without access to the internet are not disadvantaged when we remove current job search systems in favour of universal jobmatch and move to universal credit next year.
Customers will soon be able to access their records digitally through “My Benefits on Line”, from their own PCs and the IADs in job centres. This will provide real-time updates on the status of their claim, remove the need to speak to a member of staff and provide a quicker, more efficient service.
Kings Heath JO completed a risk assessment which supported the removal of three customer access phones to allow two IADs to be installed. Three access phones remain for the use of customers.
As part of this process, we have monitored usage to ensure the remaining phones meet customer need and analysis has shown that demand for the remaining three customer access phones are not exceeding capacity.
We have increased the number of customer service managers to provide claimants with any additional support they require and reduce the need for referrals to the customer access phones.
To date, no complaints have been received from customers about the reduction in the number of customer access phones, nor have there been any incidents logged as a result of their removal.
The number of calls received by the telephony team has not increased during the period and statistics show no adverse affect upon our already low abandoned call rates. Additional analysis is being conducted to ascertain peak-use timings so that we can continue to judge how best to handle customer queries in the future.
From 2 November 2012 the district will be piloting a new approach where customers apply for jobseeker’s allowance online instead of over the telephone and this will again reduce the demand for the customer access phones.
If necessary, we can recommission customer access phones at short notice. However, we do not anticipate that this will be the case.
