Handle public inquiries online

Overwhelmed by public inquiries? Members of the public and licensees call and write to your agency routinely, and handling this work can consume a large number of staff hours. A public website offers the most efficient method for handling such inquiries.

Public websites solve many common problems:

• Staff overwhelmed by phone calls.
• Staff spend time manually handling inquires.
• Staff diverted from more important work.
• Agency adds staff to handle work.

Public websites increase efficiency

​With online public inquiries:

• Web pages, not staff, handle inquires.
• Staff feel supported.
• Staff spend time on high priority work.
• Agency operates efficiently with current staff.
