Huddles can be the team’s daily opportunity to communicate and plan. A Huddle Board is the team's tool to record important information and memorialize decisions and goals. If there is a special focus on a particular metric or initiative, the Huddle Board can be used to remind the team and reinforce these initiatives each day.
Listen to this episode of CallTalk and hear Debbie Frazier talk about how the Huddle Board approach was successfully implemented at one of the largest insurance companies in North America. Huddle Boards can be the perfect antidote to the problem of intra-office communications, which our Agent Voices report showed is one of the major weak spots in contact centers today. From announcements to reminders to performance tracking, you can leverage huddles in many useful ways.
