About the Literature Scan
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has contracted with IMPAQ International and ideas to learn about the customer experience in American Job Centers (AJCs), and to identify ways to improve that experience. Developing an understanding about how job seekers and employer customers perceive their AJC experience, and then maximizing what makes a positive experience, should lead to improved outcomes in employment and other areas. As part of this exploratory study, the research team conducted a literature scan in fall 2015 on related key topics. The research team also sought data on customer experience from customers themselves, using Social Media Topic Modeling (SMTM).
The objective of this scan is to learn what has been reported recently on AJC customer experience, to see what is known from the emerging field of behavioral research and how those researchers are measuring customer experience, and to note promising AJC customer experience strategies. The research team accomplished these objectives by reviewing recent literature on customer experience in AJCs and in analogous systems, including a review of relevant behavioral science literature.
