Delivering high-quality services is essential for public sector organizations to improve operational efficiency and meet quality performance goals. ISO 9001 standards assist local government bodies and public institutions in translating policies into effective action, resulting in the consistent, standardized, and efficient delivery of services that are compatible with the needs of the community.
Adopting Quality Management Systems compliant with ISO 9001 can improve the quality of products and services delivered to the public. It can also help organizations to effect continuous improvement by accessing organization-wide data for further analysis and capturing trends.
ISO 9001:2015 helps public sector companies with an understanding of the needs and expectations of the citizens and other relevant interested parties.
Policies and requirements constantly change, needing changes to the services and creating uncertainty. Implementing a Quality Management System can help public sector organizations to use a risk-based approach to be better prepared to meet these challenges. It will also help in forming strategies for the socio-economic development of the administrative region, optimize the utilization of resources, and improve time and cost-effectiveness.
Complaints management is another area where a QMS can help enable a timely response to resolve issues and improve the public perception of the institution. Proper complaints management can also be a vital source for insights and actions that drive continuous improvement.
