How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    Mt. Ashland offers services to people from throughout our community. We provide an affordable opportunity for healthy outdoor education when other opportunities are scarce. More than 1,000 school children visit Mt. Ashland each winter through our school-based programs, 20% by scholarship. Through programs like Winter Wellness Day, the ACCESS Ski & Ride Against Hunger day, and other programs, we offer free opportunities for thousands of members of our community to try winter sports.

  • How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

    To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals

  • What significant change resulted from feedback?

    We initiated an email-based feedback system in 2020 to help Mt. Ashland managers better understand the experience through our guests' eyes. This has helped the organization tremendously in regards to addressing problems in real-time as well as to share kudos with members of our team. This season, we received some comments from guests who had negative experiences in our ski school. This presented the organization an opportunity to find out more about the negative experiences and then better coach our ski school staff in regards to creating a positive experience. This has been relatively rare, however. Nine out of ten guests surveyed this season gave us a four- or five-star rating.

  • Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

    We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback

  • What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

    We don't have any major challenges to collecting feedback
