Achievement
and performance.
Our performance
is measured
generally
in financial terms by monitoring
earnings
but we have also had occasional satisfaction
and exit surveys.|| ||||We have successfully
navigated
the difficulties
enforced on us during|the| ||||lockdown
period and successfully
reintegrated
employees,
students,|and| ||||volunteers
in a safe manner. We are increasing
both our volunteer,
staff|| ||||and student
numbers.|| ||||~
Customer
Experience|| ||||Up to this point our main practice for monitoring
customer satisfaction|| ||||has been anecdotal.
However
going forward we will be testing designs|| ||||for customer's
satisfaction
surveys
which we hope to undertake
more|| ||||routinely.
