As Contact Center leaders we are exposed to many “challenging” situations in the contact center. Whether it is a “difficult” call from a customer, a “confrontational” response from one of our agents, a “miscommunication”, or an “inspirational” memo from our leadership, the stress of serving customers and the failure of leadership to understand the importance of what we do is part of our professional day to day lives.

Hiring
There is no better time to make a positive impression on a candidate than during the hiring process. We often think of that period of time as the opportunity for the candidate to impress us, but if we are attracting the right type of candidate they should be “hiring” us as well. In the contact center it is critical to attract the best employees because they are handling our greatest asset, the customer.
