CONTACT CENTRES ARE CHANGING – HOW WILL YOU RISE TO THE CHALLENGE?

The world of work has changed dramatically over the last few months and for none more than those in customer facing roles… we’ve noticed huge shifts for our clients within the Contact Centre space, as a direct result of the COVID19 pandemic.

Due to unprecedented demand for answers and understanding, Contact Centres have needed to scale up their temporary and permanent staffing, and quickly!

This has created a volume of positions for online Live-Chat, whilst top Customer Service Representatives need to be available to handle those more complex queries and issues via the phone.

The use of AI powered Chat-Bots has also assisted in relieving queries that can be directed to a website page or can be answered more simply.

This more digital approach will continue to shape how Contact Centres are led in Australia well beyond the pandemic. Customers have shown a strong appreciation for the more digital approach, which sees their questions being answered quicker and more efficiently.

MAYDAY partner with some of Australia’s largest insurers, so we found this recent article in insurancenews.com.au really insightful – read how the pandemic has accelerated changes within Contact Centres in the insurance industry.
