DIFC Courts gets first in world award

DIFC Courts has achieved the prestigious International Standard for Service Excellence (TISSE) certification as recognition of its commitment to consistent delivery of customer service excellence.

During the launch of the first framework for court excellence event organized by the International Association for Court Administration (IACA), in cooperation with the DIFC Courts and the Dubai Courts, DIFC Courts was awarded the International Customer Service Standard.

“We are delighted to become the first court in the world to receive this certification, which recognises our commitment to delivering the highest levels of customer service excellence,” said Mark Beer, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar, DIFC Courts.

Michael Hwang, Chief Justice of DIFC Courts, received the TISSE 2012 certificate from Robert Keay, Co-founder and Chairman of the International Customer Service Institute in the presence of Theuns Kotze, Regional Managing Director – BSI Middle East and Africa any other senior officials.

The certificate recognises DIFC Courts beliefs in the positive effects of a well nurtured, well communicated and well actioned customer service excellence culture.

“Our aim is to be the leading commercial court, not just regionally, but globally, and a credit such as this is proof that we are on our way to achieving that goal. Customer service is something that we value highly, and we are proud to be currently setting the standard in this field, internationally,” said Beer.

The excellence standard has been developed by The International Customer Service Institute (TICSI) with the objective of making it the global standard for quality customer service. TICSI offers independent third-party assessment by the world’s leading certification body, British Standards Institution (BSI).

It aims to enable organisations to focus their attention on the delivery of excellence in service, customer satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy, as well as making significant cost savings by concentrating on what matters to their customers.

TISSE is widely recognised as the global quality mark in the Middle East and is starting to be adopted in Asia, America and Australia.

Robert Keay, Co-founder and Chairman of The International Customer Service Institute, said: “It gives us great pride to have helped DIFC Courts on their journey to become the first Court in the world to be certified against TISSE. The passion and commitment of their employees to improve their customers’ experience means that they are now in the position to be viewed as a leader in court services not just in the Middle East, but on a global scale. We see the IACA conference as a fantastic platform for DIFC Courts to showcase their achievements to courts from all over the world.”
