Call Center Career Pathing

“LSA was very thorough during all phases of our process: the pre-meeting, the meeting and post-meeting. Their time spent with management and our employees went very well. LSA’s write-up of what was said was very insightful. Their suggestions for the future were also very valuable. I can’t think of any phase of the process that wasn’t first class.”
John Lynch | CEO & President | ECSI

Description:

Contact center turnover is a primary concern for managers who are tasked with justifying training dollars and held accountable for the impact that attrition has on customer satisfaction, service level, and overall team performance and morale. Typically, the contact center is seen as a stepping stone to a more valued position within an organization. Wave upon wave of new hires come through the call center and receive valuable insight into products, services, processes, and procedures only to move to other departments or competitors, which reap the benefits of their training.

The Career Pathing Strategy Session assists contact center managers in defining activities and milestones that can be used to create a development plan for representatives, whether their goal is to grow within the department or become a valuable contributor to the organization as a whole. LSA Experts and Solution Experts work with managers to:

Determine the optimal “life of a representative”
Define incremental milestones that elevate representatives in their roles
Highlight courses and certifications that structure performance criteria and subsequent career movement
Identify reward and grade-level standards

What is Included

During the two-day onsite engagement, the following four areas are addressed:

Review of job descriptions and grade levels
Understanding of knowledge tiers
Investigation of available representative training
Mapping of job movement

Target Audience:

The Career Pathing Strategy Session is for the contact center management team.

We engaged with LSA Global to share best practices around Rapid Instructional Design and to develop, design, and deliver an session that taught our property owners the benefits of our Customer Loyalty program.

We found their experts to be collaborative, insightful, prepared, and nimble, especially given that the time frame for the project became compressed.

We look forward to continuing our strategic partnership.

Annmarie Fairweather
Vice President Brand Service

We were all very impressed with LSA’s call center consulting efforts and extremely satisfied with the recommendations. Our intention is to take the many recommendations and implement them in our Call Center.

Ron Shell
SVP Business Development

We engaged with LSA Global to support our Customer Service Improvement initiative to develop and enhance the awareness and importance of good customer service within our Corporate Business Services group. We wanted to deliver a solution that would positively influence and shape internal behaviors and customer behaviors.

LSA Global, through their partnership process, demonstrated their value proposition. By first understanding our desired outcomes, only then could an effective solution be designed and delivered. Their consultant was well prepared, engaging and really drove a cross-functional, multi-level audience, to see a “basic” concept in profound and impactful ways. We will look to LSA Global for these and future needs.

Stanley Newman
Customer Service Manager

We partnered with LSA Global to help us provide the most effective customer service skills for our associates. Guided by our Promoter Satisfaction scores, we sought to partner with an organization that could provide customer service training and consulting programs for a diverse set of employees, communicating with customers via phone, email and in person, and with varying levels of knowledge and tenure. I’ve already gotten emails from customers saying that they’re seeing a change.”

Radiology
Field Service Leader

We needed a way to improve customer training. We had to reach a disparate group of people in a very short period time. LSA gave us a new training methodology and a better way to go to market with our customer training that improved their experience and our brand positioning.

LSA delivered exactly what we needed and exceeded our expectations. Thank you.

Hinda Chalew
Vice President of Marketing

I want to personally thank you. The effective presentations skills and leadership coaching exceeded our expectations.

You gave our consultants practical tools and insights they could walk away with and immediately utilize.

Thank you for being so professional, yet fun, to work with.

Jennifer Morgans
VP Customer Experience

We engaged with LSA Global to train our Call Center Customer Service Managers and Team Leaders how to be effective coaches. We wanted our CSMs and TLs to be able to conduct the “hard” conversations around performance, to create a coaching environment that encourages our agents to be self-motivated, and ultimately to create a better experience for our consumers. LSA’s facilitator was able to tailor the content and deliver it in way that really demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and left our CSMs and TLs wanting more!

Jane Pearson-Wray
Continuous Improvement Manager

Having gone through many leadership development programs it can be said that my approach was reasonably skeptical at first. The analyst in me has concluded it was your method; which was almost conversational and so cleverly delivered I initially missed it, which is the mark of a great facilitator.

In the program several leadership tools were employed, props such as the familiar movie clip, interaction games with peers; the text and reference guides, the analysis and profile of team members by peers and facilitated conversation to name a few. These tools, created scenario based, referenced learning that could be immediately translated into the work place. That coupled with the follow-on coaching sessions have been the key to the development. I am pleased to have attended the LSA Global Program and even more so feel privileged to have had you as teacher and coach.
