Making RHP easy to do business with #1
• Our 5 year corporate strategy
 Omnichannel is inextricably linked to our
business.
 To be the best service provider in the UK means
being easy to do business with.

Making RHP easy to do business with #3
 Currently we receive a lot of contact that is of
no value to our customers and no value to our
business.
 Inefficiency is the biggest reason for
preventable, valueless contact.
 We need to first ensure our existing systems are
easy to use in order to successfully reduce
inefficient contact.
 Customer behaviour and expectations are
shifting to digital first for transactional contact.
 Webchat and Mobile apps are growing
channels for customer service.

 Offering alternative contact channels would
provide customers more choice and
convenience.
 Mobile internet channels best suit our customers’
preferences and access.
 Many businesses are seeing significant savings
by shifting to online self-service.
 By shifting transactional contact to online RHP
could reduce staffing costs and increase time to
handle valuable contact.

We’re consistently trusted and
seamless across all channels
We proactively eliminate valueless
contact
Our tone of voice, service style, and process
efficiency is consistent across the end-to-end
customer experience.
We identify contact causes that are of no value
to our customers or RHP and take proactive
action to eliminate these .

Our preferred channel is also our
customers’ preferred channel
Customers benefit from the channel we nudge
them to, and they understand why we’ve done
that.

Our default offering is self-service
for transactional contacts. We will
offer personal service for complex
issues
Complex issues are those where an investment,
decision process or policy is needed.
We’re constantly building
relationships with our customers
We’re always using the information we gain
about our customers to tailor their experiences
to suit them.
