Remote and hybrid work are not new to contact centers, but getting really good at it on scale and for the long haul, is quite new. How are organizations retaining the best talent once hired, and how are they bringing people into culture folds quickly, while building excitement about these employment opportunities? How do leaders emit the energy and ethos of the organization while clearly laying out expectations and holding people accountable? How are contact center organizations adding more flexibility to the mix? Join this session for details from Michele Rowan, President of WFH Alliance. She's the leading subject matter expert on remote and hybrid work for contact centers and support functions.
