the audits performed, specific initiatives are then taken (e.g. training sessions on specific topics), so as to guarantee a high
quality standard and professionalism by the distribution network.
As regards the management of the Ifis Npl company call centre dedicated to phone collection, the organisation of internal
work has been optimised and instruments have been created for the constant monitoring and analysis of performance; the
aims of these measures include the limitation of the risk of “aggressive” conduct or unfair commercial practices
implemented by operators. The company Ifis Npl uses different methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the management
approach implemented:
• inquiries by the "monitoring" call centre - separate from the one dedicated to collection operations, which contacts
all customers that have successfully repaid their debts thanks to the proposed settlement plans, as well as a
sample of customers with whom an agreement has not been finalised, so as to ensure the members of the
network acted with fairness and integrity;
• requiring agents to prepare a "Meeting report" at the end of each visit with a customer describing what transpired
during the meeting and any agreements reached. This report must be signed by the customer, so as to keep a
transparent and objective record of any agreements reached;
• reviewing any rejected complaints on a quarterly basis to identify potential emerging problems or issues of
increasing interest to customers, so as to define the necessary corrective actions;
• constantly monitoring the Bank's social channels;
• interviewing customers that have successfully repaid their debts;
• constantly listening to the grievances and needs of network agents.
