That perpetually revolving contact centre door.
Does your company have one?
If you do, you're not alone. Not by a long shot!
Securing reliable staff who are loyal and will stay is one of the biggest challenges contact centre managers face. With staff turnover costing contact centres over $11,500 per staff member, it's no wonder managers like yourself are scratching their heads about how to address this costly problem. In our experience, the answers lie in... your onboarding process.
The Stats
ACA Research conducted a study of the contact centre industry and found that 40 per cent of contact centre employees had been in their current role for less than one year. But a third of those surveyed had been working in a similar contact centre role for more than four years.
These numbers show that employees were happy with the nature of their work — just not the company they were working for.
