Frequently Asked Questions

Why should government agencies measure citizen satisfaction?

Citizen satisfaction measurement helps identify service gaps, allocate resources effectively, build public trust, and demonstrate accountability. It enables data-driven improvements and helps agencies meet their public service mandates.

What is Customer Effort Score (CES) for government services?

CES measures how much effort citizens must expend to complete their task. Lower effort scores correlate with higher satisfaction and trust in government. It's particularly valuable for identifying bureaucratic friction and streamlining processes.

How can I increase survey response rates from citizens?

Offer the survey immediately after service completion, keep it under 3 minutes, ensure mobile-friendliness, emphasize anonymity, and communicate how feedback will be used. QR codes at service locations and follow-up emails work well.

What benchmarks exist for government satisfaction scores?

Government satisfaction typically scores 5-15 points lower than private sector benchmarks. A CSAT above 70% or CES above 5 (on 7-point scale) is considered good. Compare against similar agencies rather than commercial businesses.

How should we handle negative feedback from citizens?

Create a closed-loop process: acknowledge feedback within 48 hours, investigate systematically, implement improvements where possible, and communicate changes back to the community. Negative feedback is valuable for continuous improvement.
