The challenge
A start up bank wanted to develop a customer-centric and values-led mortgage operation, including: the design and implementation of new systems, operations, and procedure build and training material.
The solution
- Designed and implemented best practice processes for new operation, including: system capability and controls for launch; transfer of mortgage arrears process flows into procedures; scripting for arrears case handlers based around procedures/training material/regulatory requirements.
- Devised full module-based, customer-centric training programme for customer service representatives and supervisors, covering pre-arrears, early-arrears, late-arrears and recoveries.
- Training included modules on Emotional Quotient (EQ), Treating Customers Fairly (TCF), system navigation, understanding the customer, best practice, essential reporting, regulatory compliance, and an assessment test.
The results
- Organisation achieved its aim of being customer-centric and values-led.
- Client able to mitigate risk and deliver early benefits.
- Received a fully functional operation in line with regulatory requirements.
- Provided with emerging strategies and tools.
- Tailored training platform enabled the bank to roll-out in full or pick selected modules appropriate to use.
- Knowledge transfer from Arum to client to utilise independently.
