11.15 It's A Juggling Act: Supporting Agents & Customers In A Hybrid World
The world is a different place today compared to this time a year ago. Most leaders say COVID-19 has changed the UK contact centre industry forever.
While some contact centres managed to maintain service throughout the pandemic by switching to remote working, this raised issues for contact centre leaders. Problems included: the pressures of managing a remote workforce, keeping morale up and finding ways to connect the contact centre to subject matter experts behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, customer needs and expectations changed. People now communicate with businesses over many more channels than before. On top of this, queries became increasingly complicated. Agents needed to tap into knowledge and answers they couldn't necessarily access quickly.
All of this tells us that more than ever, helping solve a query requires effective collaboration between frontline agents and other parts of the organisation. As many companies adopt a hybrid approach to working, this level of collaboration will only happen if agents have the support they need.
But how do contact centre leaders manage a workforce moving from remote to hybrid and keep up with ever-changing customer behaviours?
