In today’s increasingly complex contact center, your employees need a robust combination of tools, information and support to meet rapidly evolving customer expectations. You need to define an employee engagement strategy that closely aligns with your customer engagement strategy.

They enable you to manage employees and their skills from a single location, resulting in more effective forecasting and scheduling. Efficiently distribute interactions and work across channels through combined skills and schedule-based routing to boost efficiency and service levels while reducing costs associated with undesired overtime and employee turnover.
Listen more to identify opportunities
Each customer conversation is valuable. Achieve a deeper understanding of conversations that hold valuable insights into trends, issues and business performance by recording and analyzing 100% of your interactions. And do this all while leveraging your existing contact center infrastructure.

It analyzes all conversations across all channels, empowering you to better understand customer conversations. Gain deeper insights into the true meaning and context of every conversation to make data-driven decisions on business processes, identify new revenue opportunities, and ensure workforce performance and quality management success.

Pinpoint the skills that contribute to your success and have the information you need to improve performance across your team.
Build customized training, coaching and employee assessments

Then provide individualized training and coaching plans on a next-best-action basis. Schedule training and coaching plans automatically in your workforce planning application during existing downtime—minimizing the impact on your operations. Your employees will appreciate knowing specifically what they need to succeed and get ahead in their careers.
