- Frequent use of Surveys to assess the level of customer satisfaction with services rendered by the Bureau;
- Constant scrutiny and review of our internal processes to identify areas that require improvement;
- Review and Implementation of our Service Charter
- The SERVICOM Committee of the Bureau meets on a quarterly basis to ensure that service delivery issues are identified and adequately addressed;
- Regular training programmes to sensitise staff on their roles and responsibilities with regards to service delivery; and
- Use of an electronic clock-in system at both receptions and CCTV to monitor the punctuality of staff, capture details of visitors and track movements within the premises for security purposes;
It would be recalled that SERVICOM was instituted on 24th March 2004
as a means of ensuring effective and efficient public service delivery in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government
In compliance with this, the Bureau established its Unit of SERVICOM to ensure efficient service delivery initiative as envisaged by the Government.
