While the overall satisfaction score for the Insite® Work Order Survey is at a solid “superior” level, there are some easy tweaks that can be made within your team to ensure your work order process is running as smoothly as possible. Check out these 5-step process: Thorough service requests – Details It’s all in the details…does everyone in your office know how to take a thorough, detailed request? Be sure to ask the “technical” questions that maintenance finds most helpful. Go beyond “which bathroom” and “are there pets in the apartment Input into Property Management System immediately Outlaw those post-it notes in your office. As soon as a request for service comes in, it should immediately go into your property management system. No more stockpiling requests! Service Team has necessary training and tools Does the service team have what they need to complete your most common requests? Trips to the supply store or waiting for a part to come in can mean the difference between securing or sabotaging a renewal. Resident notified of any delays When there is a delay in work order completion, whose job is it to notify the resident? The easiest and most effective method is for maintenance to tell the office and then the office follow up with the resident. Keep everyone in the loop! Follow up after service request completed To uncover incomplete service requests and additional service needs, having a callback process for completed orders is a great strategy. Set a goal for callbacks (100% is the desired) but how many residents can you successfully connect with to confirm the work has been done.
