- Access case history and information
- Use checklists to promote their quality and compliance
- Focus on tasks that are prioritized and suitable for their skills
Challenges & Solutions
How OPX can help
Agent Challenges | Impacts | How OPX can help |
---|---|---|
Managing own workload is difficult without all the information | Focusing efforts on more urgent requests. Priority/routine items falling outside SLA. Disengaging with the work, reduction of morale. | Real-time automated task allocation shifts agent focus onto the task itself. SLA adherence is managed automatically, reducing breaches. |
Need to balance professional development with meeting targets | Having gaps in training. Performing duty inadequately. Cannot complete work while undertaking training. | Reporting on quality and productivity of staff in detail, identifying specific training needs and focussing effort. |
Risk of boredom performing monotonous tasks | Becoming less motivated; drops in productivity. Employee retention suffers. | Splitting processes into different activities, sending mundane work to bots while keeping the decision-making steps with a human. |
Might be asked to absorb front office work, disrupting own routine | Back-office work gets put on hold over front office tasks. Reporting on activity becomes difficult when working across separate systems and offices. | As front-office demand increases, OPX can pause work and resume as appropriate, monitoring the SLA impact throughout. |
