  • Part of a team to win a national award for innovation with the implementation of a gates system into our work. We as a team identified the amount of time to finalise our work had reduced due to escalation on phone queues. We decided to split our work into a gate system, gate one our newer staff members would load allocations, make contact to the customer to progress the allocation and then move it into gate two, this is where staff would progress any correspondence before moving allocations into gate three, this is where the more experienced staff would write the objection decisions. On our processing days all objection officers’ would contribute to writing decisions. Our work on hand significantly decreased, and resulted in our team being about to finalise our customers objections in a timely manner, while also contributing to servicing our customers on the phone queue's.
