Do you know how to encourage the motivation of your call center agents agents in the best possible way? Diverse experience or new job challenges will help you keep the energy levels high. This issue has recently been addressed on the Call Centre Helper website. Then, Call Centre Helper published the following recommendations.
Physical health
As far as the demanding job in a call center, physical health is an essential factor. Sleep, balanced diet, sport or hydration. Share your experience. Try team brainstorming and look for ways to find the grounds of good health together. You do not have to be a fitness fanatic to support others' self-control over their own physical energy.
Commitment
Working challenges and new experience motivate people to perform. As a result, we feel full of energy and we are more involved in the work. Each successfully completed project provides a sense of fulfillment and success. Offer your agents the opportunity to work independently on their own projects and provide assistance and supervision for their performance. Thus, your employees will learn new skills without being excessively nervous. New experience can also be gained by solving new tasks together, organizing themed competitions, celebrating new client acquisitions or just decorating the work environment. All this will boost the morale of the whole team.
Confidence
Thorough training is an important factor in maintaining the agents' confidence. However, the entire team must also know how to behave in a situation the members were not trained for. Apart from a working procedure for such cases, it is also important to have a capable team leader willing to tackle such problems immediately. Without the leader's support, the agents will not have enough energy and motivation to face such challenges. Share the experience that forces you to be energetic in your work as well as private life with your team.
Realistic picture of productivity
A healthy understanding of the possibilities and capabilities of personal performance is important to avoid cases of employee burnout. Make sure that your team has not been overloaded for a long time and its productivity limit is taken into account. Check the top management's familiarity with the contact center's capabilities and limits, too. Thus, you can avoid redundant tasks that could be assigned to your team beyond its existing responsibilities.
All these factors encourage call center operators’ motivation to cope with new tasks and challenges confidently.
