Member Town Hall - Measuring Agent Productivity

There’s a tendency to see mental health issues through a different lens than physical health issues.  Whether it’s depression, anxiety, PTSD, or neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD, mental health challenges are often hidden from even close friends and family members.  Because of the stigma around them and the fact that they often manifest with no outwardly visible signs, they are often not addressed until a breaking point with severe and potentially dangerous consequences.   
  
This week with Erika-Taylor-Beck, the VP of Client Support at Relias discusses her own personal journey dealing with mental illness inspired her to advocate for others and lead with authenticity and vulnerability.  

This discussion:   
• The fear and stigma around discussing mental health issues
• Why she decided to discuss this publicly

Perspectives on Leadership with Tony Keesee

Take a look as CCNG President and CEO David Hadobas interviews Matt Lawson, CTO with Spearline.

During this interview Matt looks at customer experience from the telecoms angle.  Contact Centers justifiably focus on metrics such as first contact resolution, average handling time, and more, but that customer interaction often happens in the "environment" of a phone line.  Whether the inbound phone services are supporting a positive customer experience or not is worth considering.   Matt and the team at Spearline have loads of experience helping businesses to connect with their customers, and connect well.

Member Town Hall-Encouraging Quality Through an Internal Self-Assessment Program

In today's highly competitive business landscape, delivering exceptional customer service is paramount to success. The key to achieving this lies in mastering customer connections, and contact centers play a crucial role in this endeavor. 

While metrics provide important quantitative data, they often fail to capture the nuances of customer experiences and the behaviors that drive customer satisfaction. This is where behavior-based coaching steps in as a game-changer. By shifting the focus from metrics to behaviors, contact center leaders can identify the specific skills, attitudes, and techniques that contribute to exceptional customer interactions.

Join The Northridge Group’s Director of Customer Experience, Vickie Schutze, and Sr. Director of Healthcare for the June CCNG Town Hall to learn more about how using behavior-based coaching in the contact center can elevate service quality and drive customer satisfaction to new heights.
