In a tough economy, it may not seem like employee retention is a concern. What employers don’t realize is unhappy employees have a plan. The second the economy picks up or another position opens, your staff will flee and leave the company high and dry. It’s time to check-in with employees and see what it’s like to work at your company. Put yourself in their shoes. What is it like to work for you?

Hiring
Satisfying customers who contact organizations through the contact center is not merely the result of having good processes (although effective processes are needed). You have to recruit and train agents who have the correct skills to handle transactions effectively and efficiently. You also have to recruit, hire, train, and manage supervisors who have the right skills to manage agents to high performance. To do that, you have to clearly define what skills and knowledge are needed for agents and supervisors.
