By Peg Ayers As Supervisors and Managers, we often feel we must have all the answers. We need to share our great experience and knowledge with those on our teams.

By Colin Taylor We are now into the fourth quarter of the year. Retail and ecommerce firms are gearing up for the holiday season, which means more staff. But where are they going to find more staff? It is hard to find new staff. We can blame the Great Resignation if we like, but where […]

By Peg Ayers As the New Year begins, many of us turn to thoughts of self-improvement, swearing off sweets, resolving to run three miles a day or promising not to spend hours in front of the television every weekend. But how many of us look at our contact centers and think about making this New […]

By Colin Taylor Halloween, the night of the dead, the end of all things, whatever you call it, this time of year with the harvest behind us and the ghouls and goblins; not to mention Squid Game characters who have now darkened our door; can be a frightening time.

By Colin Taylor We won’t go back to the “before times.” It is a simple as that. Wanting the world to be as you think it should be, rather than as it is, is the textbook definition of neurotic. So buckle up and get ready for the new world. “Hybrid work” is a new and […]

by JD Fairweather After several months of remote working – a workstyle many contact center leaders would have deemed impossible to implement a year and a half ago – employers are finding it difficult to lure staff back into the office. The Delta variant notwithstanding, it seems that employees are far too settled into the […]

By Colin Taylor Last spring when the Covid19 pandemic began, companies were forced to make many changes to how they operated. With the offices closed, they sent their agents to work from home. This was a learning experience for the center leadership, the company, and the agents. According to the research we completed in May […]

By Colin Taylor We are now more than a year into the “new normal” and increasingly contact center organizations are recognizing this fact. I am often asked if I think that contact centers will ever go back to 100% “bricks and mortar”, and the answer I give is no, that ship has sailed. Organizations were […]
