Retaining employee engagement in a hybrid working model

As the role of the contact centre evolves, so does the skills requirements of those working in it. 

We invite you to join us and discuss how to effectively plan for future skills and job roles, diving into the broadening remit for contact centres, the role of technology and what we think the skills of tomorrow might look like.

We’ll also assess whether greater focus on organisational culture, career pathways and flexible working options are catalysts for attracting more diverse talent.

These round table events include presentations from industry experts sharing insight and research, member case studies and round table discussions.

As always, they provide you with the opportunity to share ideas and benchmark your own organisation against other member organisations.

Come join us.

Agenda

Topic: Skills of Tomorrow

12:00 – Welcome & Introductions 

  • With Kate Law, Director of Services, CCMA
12:20 – Future-Proofing Talent: The Evolving Skillset of the Contact Centre Workforce

With the role of technology playing a key role within our contact centres when supporting our people, business and customer needs, the role of the contact centre colleague continues to evolve.

So, with this in mind we will discuss how the skills required within our contact centres have and continue to change.

We will discuss:

  • How has attraction and recruitment changed?
  • What skills are being explored to bring into our contact centres?
  • How are contact centres adapting training strategies?
  • How are career pathways evolving?

As technology continues to reshape the contact centre landscape, the role of our people is undergoing a powerful transformation. From AI-powered support to evolving customer expectations, the skillset needed on the frontline is no longer what it once was, and it’s changing fast.

In this interactive session, we’ll dive into how contact centres are rethinking talent – from attraction and recruitment through to training, development and career pathways.

  • What new skills are we hiring for?
  • How are we equipping our teams to thrive in a hybrid, tech-enabled world?
  • What does the contact centre career of tomorrow look like?

We’ll explore these questions in engaging breakout discussions with other members, then come back together to share real-world ideas and practical strategies you can take away.

This isn’t just about keeping up, it’s about staying ahead. Let’s reimagine what’s possible.
