How should government organisations like the Jobcentre and DWP behave towards people?

I’ve had difficulties in the past with the DWP job coaches, who often seemed overwhelmed and over worked. Many didn’t see us as individuals with unique needs and could be quite dismissive, sometimes even rude. On several occasions, I was told they couldn’t or wouldn’t help. In such situations, a little compassion would have gone a long way.
