It covers all stages of the employee life cycle: hiring, onboarding, training, scheduling, coaching, and more. From planning workforce needs to routing questions to appropriate agents, WEM can be used for various reasons and can be tailored to suit your specific business needs.
The voice of the employee or VOE refers to the process of taking ideas, grievances, suggestions, or any kind of feedback from employees. Capturing this data is crucial in improving overall employee satisfaction in your contact center. Just as your agents strive to achieve excellent customer satisfaction in every interaction, they also want to work for a call center that provides a quality employee experience.
VOE is a great opportunity to show your agents that their voices matter and that they play an important role in creating positive experiences for both agents and customers.
The voice of the customer or VoC describes what customers are saying about a business product or service. Capturing and listening to VoC gives organizations pertinent data that can be used to understand customer insights, problems, complaints, and feedback about their experience and expectations.
When you take the time to understand VoC, you can confidently provide the means to meet their needs, adjust to their preferences, and gain customer satisfaction and loyalty in the long run.
