Complaint handling

Licensed by FOD BiZa as internal security service - BE0248.015.142

It is important that every person can be served according to his/her wishes and in compliance with the legislation applicable to our sector. We will therefore always make every effort to strive for maximum satisfaction with our service. Given that the main asset of our service is its employees and that as human beings we are not infallible, there is a chance that not all the expectations of our - professional - relations will be met according to their expectations. This is why we believe it is important to have a good complaint handling, combined with a good communication to all involved.
