First person feedback captured “in the moment” of failure gives us a lens into the issues affecting a page of content, task or service.
Combining feedback insights with other quantitative data is an important step towards building a service culture that is human-centred and evidence-driven to continuously improve our services in a timely manner for Canadians.
Feedback tool design
The feedback tool is an optional pattern. It can be added to the bottom of a content page after the page content and before the date modified. It replaces the “Report a problem” pattern while actively collecting user feedback.
The feedback tool invites visitors to:
indicate if they found what they were looking for (yes / no)
offer their feedback describing the problem
