The Rise and Rise of Workplace Wellbeing

The role of the advisor has changed. We’ve all seen the shift to dealing with more complex queries. This means that colleagues need to be better equipped to have those conversations. As well as having access to the right information, being trained and supported, and using technology to enhance the customer experience, they need to be equipped emotionally to handle these interactions to avoid rising stress levels.

At this one-hour online seminar, we’re going to explore:

Managing workplace stress through wellbeing

We’ll be talking to a contact centre professional about the pressures of working in the contact centre and how wellbeing can play a role in relieving the stress.

Retaining colleagues through support and coaching

Find out how other contact centres are reducing attrition by focusing on employee value and support.

How technology can help or harm the employee experience

Listen to stories of how technology can negatively impact the employee experience, and diversly how it can be used to surprise and delight colleagues.

Join us for this highly interactive session, supported by the great story-teller, Ed Creasey, Pre-Sales Director at Calabrio.
