Our focus on process control and consultation ensures excellent customer service and delivers value for money to our clients. Our primary goal is to obtain complete and accurate data for each and every interview, placing quality at the forefront of our operations.

We take pride in our active ISO 20252-2012 Quality Standard certification, which applies to all aspects of our operations, including online, CATI, coding, and data entry. Accreditation is more than a mere formality for us—it is a genuine process that drives continuous improvement in our internal communications. Additionally, our account management system facilitates efficient communication, conflict resolution, and ensures quality outcomes for all our clients. Procedural documentation and comprehensive job reporting are integral parts of our workflow.

To maintain our high standards, we have a dedicated Field Quality Assurance Team responsible for ongoing training and quality monitoring in our Call Centre. We conduct quality assurance checks on a minimum of 5% of all interviews conducted. These checks include: Listening to live calls randomly, allowing us to assess interviewers' performance in real-time.

Reviewing recorded calls, which enables us to provide more thorough feedback to interviewers and identify areas that require one-on-one training.

Utilizing our Quancept platform to view the progression of a survey while simultaneously listening to the call, ensuring adherence to the script, accurate data recording, and maintaining a professional, friendly, polite, courteous, and respectful telephone manner.

Conducting questionnaire administration to ensure survey instructions are followed, responses are accurately recorded, and overall interview quality is maintained.

Our quality checks are conducted progressively during the fieldwork period, allowing us to provide real-time feedback to interviewers and implement necessary improvements promptly. In addition to quality monitoring, we have key performance indicators (KPIs) for our Call Centre staff, daily field meetings for performance feedback, and one-on-one mentoring to ensure optimal staff performance while upholding data integrity.

At National Field Services, we remain dedicated to delivering the highest level of quality and professionalism in every aspect of our operations, setting a benchmark for excellence in the industry.
