Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has achieved the highest score of 99.7 per cent in the latest International Customer Experience standard (ICXS2019) for 2020 provided by the International Customer Experience Institute.

A specialised team from the British Standards Institute (BSI) audited five of Dewa’s Happiness Centres, which obtained 99.7 per cent, which is the highest score worldwide. This certificate is an international standard to evaluate the customer service experience in large organisations, which can use the findings to manage and improve their services.

“Dewa enhances positivity in its environment through employee happiness, which results in happiness for all stakeholders in the community. Dewa obtained the first place in the 2019 Dubai Customer Happiness Index by The General Secretariat of the Executive Council of Dubai with 90.1 per cent. Dewa also achieved 95.7 per cent according to Smart Dubai’s Happiness Index,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dewa.

Dewa adopts a strategy focused on the happiness of the community, through unique and seamless experiences.

“We monitor the happiness level of our customers regularly and adopt a work mechanism to ensure live evaluation of the customer experience, to enhance the happiness of citizens, residents and visitors. This is done within an integrated framework that ensures continuous improvement to ensure leadership in customer happiness,” added Al Tayer.

“Today’s achievement reflects our commitment to Dewa’s Customer Happiness Charter, launched in 2015, and our commitment to support innovation and to make it a cornerstone for continuous improvement,” said Marwan Bin Haidar, executive vice president of Innovation and the Future at Dewa.

“This will enhance Dewa’s competitiveness, keep pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and take advantage of disruptive technologies such as AI, drones, 3D printing, blockchain technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT) among others.

“Dewa is one of the first government organisations to provide all its services through various smart channels, according to the highest levels of availability, reliability, quality and efficiency. This saves time and efforts and achieves added value. Dewa’s adoption of its smart services reached 93.3 per cent in 2019. Dewa’s services are available round the clock through various channels and smart platforms.”
