Gamification In Contact Centers: 4 Keys To Success, 1 Omission To Failure!

Friday June 14th 12am 0 0 Comments Team Relationship Manangement Training
Gamification has been very successfully used within incentive programs for years. My benchmark is an improvement of at least 20% in KPI’s when spending around two hours worth of labor cost per employee per month. For example, if paying $12 per hour, plan to spend $18 to $30 per month. This will generate in an excellent ROI. Most behaviors lack momentum to continue beyond the end of an incentive program. Programs that are at least six months long generate twice the results of shorter term ones!

Comment on Article: New Ways To Curb Employee Tardiness, Absenteeism and Turnover by Using Employee Selection and Online Games

Monday May 13th 6am
Unless I am missing something I don't think this article directly speaks to the described included topic of "tardiness". I think it is a good article overall, but as a Supervisor in a Customer Center I find that a direct approach to subject matter would be more valuable, versus looking for the "hidden" meaning in an article. These are my personal views of course. I would be most interested to read any additional comments posted by other readers.
