How To Avoid High Attrition & Call Centre Agent Turnover Rates

Call centres are experiencing rapid change due to automation and ever-increasing customer expectations, so agents need different skills to succeed, with an increased focus on complex problem-solving in the context of automation.

Let us know if this sounds familiar… Call centres are experiencing rapid change due to automation and ever-increasing customer expectations, so agents need different skills to succeed, with an increased focus on complex problem-solving in the context of automation.

As a result, Call Center Managers are deterred from optimising their call centres because the job market is constantly changing, and the hiring process is not consistent with the skills and competencies required for the job. Managers must identify candidates with specific skill sets and potential and choose the most suitable candidates that will perform.

Reducing ‘bad hires’ and optimising a workforce is becoming increasingly costly, risky and tedious. The generic assessments typically used are not sufficiently flexible or able to predict agents’ performance, and they do not allow for flexibility to accommodate client-specific accepted performance criteria.

For Call Centre Managers, this means that generic assessments do not give a comprehensive view, which may result in high attrition and turnover of their staff. They desperately need a more effective solution to help find and retain the right team.

Luckily for Call Centre Managers, there is SimplyMustard.
