Trust in Public Service Act: Improving Citizen Experience and Government Communication
This act aims to enhance public trust in the federal government by prioritizing customer experience and improving communication. It mandates that government agencies operate more efficiently, be more accessible, and better inform citizens about their activities, making it easier for people to interact with the government and understand its role in their lives.
Key points
Government agencies must make citizen experience a central measure of their performance, striving for seamless, effective, and consistent interactions.
New rules for collecting citizen feedback will be implemented to continuously improve services based on public needs and suggestions.
The government will be required to communicate more effectively with the public, using plain language, real-life stories, and modern digital tools to explain its actions and impact.
A new Chief Customer Experience Officer of the United States will be established to coordinate efforts to improve service and trust.
The act also establishes an advisory council to recommend ways to increase public participation in government decision-making processes.
