Discovery Insure recognised partners for service delivery excellence.

Every year, Discovery Insure recognises its top performing partners, and this year’s Discovery Insure Partner Awards mark a particularly high service delivery year, as Discovery Insure has won the Sunday Times Top Brands Survey for the Best short-term insurer in the consumer category.

“The Partner Awards were created to reward our partners for providing world class service to our clients,” said CEO of Discovery Insure Anton Ossip. “Discovery Insure prides itself on delivering exceptional service to our valued clients by partnering with only the best service providers. Our aim is always to provide world class service.”

The awards categories include:

Strategic Partner of the Year.
Strategic Partner Branches and Individuals.
Top Non-Motor and Motor partners.
Top National Panelbeater of the Year.
Top Procurement Partner of the Year.

Feedback from clients forms the foundation of the Partner Awards programme. Partners need to live the values of the Discovery Insure Partner Service Charter and have a good understanding of the measurement criteria. Partners are measured according to various criteria:

Client feedback received from Member based research.
Compliments from Discovery Insure clients.
Complaints.
BEE score.
Discovery Insure Online training.

All partners and service providers that won an award in each of the categories were entered into a ticket draw. Winners now look forward to trips to fabulous holiday destinations. The grand prize winner won an adventure-filled trip to Phuket, Thailand.

This year, Discovery Insure introduced a compliments draw. All staff of the various Discovery Insure partners were able to compete, and the top 25 individuals with the most compliments overall were entered into a draw to win a holiday to an amazing destination.
