#77 Flexible Schedules for all Contact Center agents

Waiting for Service

Release Date: 09/10/2020

  • Agents are demanding flexibility
  • A place to start is allow agents to pick their schedules within a guideline
  • Next level is implicitly and explicitly trust your agents to take breaks in a way that won't impact their colleagues or customers negatively
  • None of this is possible if you are not culturally set up for this
    • Have trust across levels
    • Hire and pay at the appropriate levels
    • If your resource management is one of constant hold times then you can't attempt this
  • Could you get started? Start democratizing just breaks for starters. Be transparent above all else.
