“Sometimes I am not sure what was first – the objective that we want to achieve or the system around which we have to tailor the objective.” Thanks to Jurgen

“It is critical that management have an open-door policy. Not just in theory but truly practise this concept. The agents are the ones doing the job and sometimes the best ideas come from them.

“If agents feel they have a voice in decisions, they will be more loyal to their manager as well as the company and will demonstrate this by supporting the decision.

“Foster an environment where agents have the opportunity to meet with management at all levels to express thoughts and concerns. Initiate an Associate Engagement Committee.

“Last, regular feedback on strengths and areas of opportunity is crucial to improved performance. Agents need to know what they are doing right as well as what they need to improve upon. Agents should always be aware of their current level of performance.” Thanks to Annette
