Edition 69, June 2020 INSIDE THIS EDITION TAKE-UP SURVEY RESULTS As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly turn to our stakeholders to discover what’s important to them and gather meaningful opinions, comments and feedback about our business performance and our products and services.
Forty-four stakeholders responded to an online survey and eight senior industry executives took part in one-on-one interviews with an objective, external consultant. The results were very pleasing, with high level findings as follows:
Along with overall encouraging and positive comments, there were also many consistent messages from senior stakeholders regarding what we could do to move the business forward and deliver enduring value. As such, where appropriate, we will use the results of the survey to guide our future direction and ensure our products and services continue to meet the requirements of industry and governments. As we work our way through the feedback we will endeavour to keep stakeholders informed of any changes we plan to make to our business as a result of survey findings. We plan to let you know what we are doing to address concerns in a future edition of The Whistle Board. We thank you for your continued support.
