Plug the Gap Sustainably
The last two years have seen more and increasing staff shortages in the country — with businesses responding differently in attempts to attract and retain employees, as well as sustain operations in the midst of a labor shortage that the Economist predicts to be a permanent phenomenon. Contact Center Outsourcing has been increasingly being looked at to manage the rampant labor shortage.
The shortage has resulted in 44% of customers experiencing longer hold times when trying to call customer service. Employers have tried different strategies to attract and retain employees with varying levels of success.
On top of that, over the past 12 months 61% of US adults have become more price sensitive. With that in mind, it will take more than just increasing the quality of customer service but also bringing down overall costs.
This can be done with strategies such as Contact Center Outsourcing, since this gets you three things accomplished all at once: contact centers help plug the labor gap, it can do so within budget, and with the necessary professional quality that customers expect.
Contact Center Outsourcing & What It Is
Simply put, a contact center is a multi-channel support organization. Unlike regular call centers that only handle calls. A Contact Center is able to handle email, chat, calls, and more.
A good rule of thumb is to see if a contact center is multidimensional. That can be taking care of its employees, communities, and clients. Since scams and sweatshops don’t care for community outreach.
