What is it like for someone who has spent years feeling overlooked and having, their needs dismissed, to finally find an organization that listens? Marquita Harper discovered this while she was living at Our House in Little Rock, AR, a nonprofit in central Arkansas that helps families experiencing homelessness regain stability. One of the services that made a significant impact on Harper was mental health therapy. It had been so transformative for her that she wanted her four children to have the same opportunity. So when Our House sent out surveys asking for participant feedback, Harper had a clear message: Hire more therapists and make sure at least one of them is a man.Was she asking for too much? At Our House, “Customer First Measurement” is the name of the game. Client feedback informs how many decisions are made. The organization asks participants twice a year to give personalized feedback. To avoid blind spots, it has established a Community council composed entirely of program participants who analyze the responses and make recommendations accordingly. This process is about more than responsiveness. It’s also about empowerment and the belief that the people closest to the problem are best positioned to provide feedback about what works well and where to improve: https://lnkd.in/eWEVKF9p
