Our phone and fax numbers are still the same.
As with any move it takes time to get everything running smoothly again, so we thank you for your patience.

Jason Kehl - Client Representative

Hi from your Client Representative

Firstly I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the 37 people who took the time to fill in and return their client survey.
By doing this you have assisted us identify areas we are doing well in while also highlighting some improvements for Personnel West.
These areas of improvement will be recorded and logged on the ‘Continuous Improvement Form’
Any relevant information will be dispersed through this newsletter or if you prefer one on one contact through your Employment Consultant or Management.

Relating to Question 4 of the survey which asked,
Do you think that we keep all your information safe and only let approved people see it?
This appeared to be an area that clients were unsure of. In the next Links Newsletter we will have more information on how your information is kept safe and confidential.

Since I last spoke to you I have gain a greater understanding of what happens during the registration process through my meetings with Sue Telford.
I have also been joining with local employers at the Personnel West offices in a four week Auslan Sign language course.
To discuss any issues relating to this service please contact me on 46346018 or Jkehl@bigpond.net.au
