The aim of the Central Uusimaa Partnership is to create new operating models for the long-time unemployed and those who are most far away from the labour market in the Central Uusimaa region. One of the main values guiding our work is developing customer-based approaches in designing and implementing the services. However, implementing a customer-based approach is multi-faceted problem, difficult to actualise. Among other development projects, the Central Uusimaa Partnership has adopted the customer focus group method used by our British partners in Jobcetre Plus.
Customer Focus Groups offer direct and instant feedback on a service or product and is not influenced through the questions asked or multiple choice responses associated with questionnaires. It is a methodology worth adopting as it keeps you very much in touch with the insights and perceptions of your customers.
