By Peg Ayers The decision to engage a contact center consultant is not made lightly.  Discussions may take place over weeks, months or even years, identifying problems in need of solutions, perhaps trying ideas that don’t solve those problems, and eventually deciding experts are needed.  Here at The Taylor Reach Group, for example, we are […]

by JD Fairweather The revolving door of employee turnover is a source of frustration for any organization.

By Colin Taylor We constantly hear about “best practices,” and these are held up as the shining examples of what the best organizations do.

After a long pause they replied “I don’t know.” Many organizations don’t think too much about their hours of operations, or HOOPs; they are just a fact of life.
