• Set career progression as a priority and 1:1 discussion
• Set clear expectations for a role in recruitment
• Learn from output interviews and draw up an action plan
Another key thing to consider is how to optimize the plan. Planning is a key component of balancing operational efficiency with employee satisfaction, which in turn will reduce your exhaustion rates and help you maintain your service level goals.
When something unexpected happens and contact volumes rise sharply, it can be very difficult to maintain service levels.
If you have alternative scenarios, you will be much better prepared. Based on the forecast, it is possible assign individual shifts of specialists and schedule shifts immediately so that all employees are occupied to the greatest advantage.
Many systems today can now compare the specialsts' planned activities with the actual activities taking place throughout the day. For example, you can get forecasts and compare them with actual real-time call volumes and other key performance metrics, such as processing times.
This provides managers with an activity breakdown, which helps ensure that service-level goals are met and, if not, identifies bad processes or reasons why the goals are not being met.
You can also use the system to set up a notification for the manager to alert him when a counselor is taking a call much longer than expected. This allows the manager to offer their support to the specialist at the right time.
