Last week’s blog post discussed improving communications and implementing processes to remove the stresses relating to First Tier Tribunals (FTT’s) and Tribunals. These complaints take up time for a Property Factoring or Block Management company. However, effective management and monitoring can help to reduce issues. This week’s blog looks at how improving the use of management data can contribute positively when dealing with Tribunals.

Management Information

Management can use data to identify the number of First Tier Tribunals the business has been involved in. And they can also identify how these complaints are being dealt with. This information can be used to set KPI’s, to implement SLA’s and ensure they are being achieved.

Setting SLA’s and guidelines for the team will make expectations and requirements clear for everyone. Having a framework for dealing with complaints and procedural requirements will provide management with more data to implement improvements. Therefore, by analysing  the information available, management can identify where there are potential areas for training.

What training is available?

Using management information to make improvements to your property factoring or block management business will encourage everyone in the team to be accountable for their contribution.
