Learning & Development Investment

By
Learning & Development Investment

Employees are more likely to stay with organisations who invest in their training and development, with 84% of workers saying they are more committed to an employer who invests in their professional growth.

A recent report by Dell Technologies predicts that 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven’t been invented yet. A prediction that is both exciting and ominous for organisations across the globe. Innovative technology is fueling rapid change and the contact centre is no exception, with advancements changing the way customers interact. The incorporation of technologies such as AI-powered chatbots, ChatGPT, GPT-4, advanced speech recognition, conversational AI, AI supported scripting, and increased digital design, are transforming the way contact centres operate and service customers.

As these technology advancements continue to transform contact centres, the one certainty is that the importance and demand on human skills will increase. Empathy, problem-solving, EQ and effective communication, will be essential to build lasting customer relationships and drive service excellence. The work a contact centres human workforce needs to handle will change, however many customers still want to interact with a human agent for complex issues, for emotionally charged situations, or to build connection.

So, what does this mean when it comes to building those human skills, strengthening capabilities, and investing in people? Learning and development strategies have never been as important as they are now. They are essential to help organisations prepare for an uncertain future, and to ensure that companies are in a position to give customers the level of human touch they expect, but also as a way to engage workforce.

Employees are more likely to stay with organisations who invest in their training and development, with 84% of workers saying they are more committed to an employer who invests in their professional growth, and 70% confirming they would look elsewhere for work if training opportunities were lacking and/or not available.

 

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO RETHINK YOUR LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY?

  1. Create a growth mindset culture in your workplace, where continuous learning, growth and development are fostered. A growth mindset culture encourages employees to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and constantly improve their skills and abilities.
  2. Have a dual model learning and development strategy that considers both soft and hard skills. Hard skills, or the technical skills required to do the job are a necessary component of your organisations training program. These hard skills ensure your staff have the practical understanding and ability to perform their job. You invest heavily in hard skills when you have new employees or when your workloads change for existing employees. Ensuring you have a clear strategy for soft skills will make the biggest different to your workforce. Soft skills are crucial for how your employees interact and work with others, and enable them to build rapport, trust, and empathy with your customers.
  3. Continuous Learning. A great learning and development strategy includes a focus on continuous learning which involves providing employees with opportunities to develop new skills and knowledge on an ongoing basis, rather than just in response to immediate needs. Build development plans in performance agreements and ensure conversations with your people focus on understanding goals, career aspirations and assessing current capabilities. A strong learning and development strategy will include a framework that supports continuous learning.
  4. Leadership development. Key to building the culture and engagement that allows your learning and development program to be a key component of your employee offer, is the leadership supporting it. This means your leadership development program is crucial to the success of all other learning and development. Most organisations have some form of corporate leadership programs, these will often be generic in nature, however, will provide some foundation leadership requirements. A strong learning and development strategy will include ways to access tailored, targeted and specific leadership courses that align to your environment and the gaps of the individual. Building this leadership capability is ongoing and requires continued investment.
  5. Realistic time investment. It takes on average 40 days for people to integrate learnings from training into their day to day roles, so organisations need to rethink how quickly they move staff through training. Getting this right will be a game changer when it comes to the confidence and readiness of your employees, and contributes to retention, engagement and customer outcomes. Once the hard skills have been built, create a follow up program that reinforces learning, invest in smaller, more regular training, followed by the time to practice newfound skills.
  6. Visibility of formal and informal learning and development. Not all the learning and development your people access will be through formal training sessions, and it is crucial that you build visibility of on-the-job training, peer learning, and buddying type activities as essential elements of your learning and development strategy. Your staff are learning all the time, so ensure your organisation has a culture of supporting learning, development and engagement to nurture this.
  7. Partnered Delivery. Organisations cannot afford to cater to every learning need of their employees, and building internal learning and development functions that do cover every aspect of your business needs is cost prohibitive to get right. Identify partners in the industry that you can work with to access industry specific or functional training options. Industry partners will have updated courses, regularly delivered that is often more cost effective and relevant that an inhouse model. Keep abreast of what industry bodies are offering and build this into your learning and development strategies.
  8. New technology can be leveraged by organisations for learning and development, removing cost and access barriers for geographically dispersed employees. Face to face is no longer the only option and short sharp sessions can mean employees are only stepping out of the workplace for defined periods of time. Balancing learning and development options has never been as easy as it is today with online training programs and support communities.

 

In a competitive labour market, employees have more choice when it comes to job options, and most consider more than financial remuneration when choosing an organisation to work for. Learning and development is fast becoming a strong contributor to a strategic employee value proposition. Contact centres already struggle with high attrition rates, attraction challenges and somewhat rigid environments, investing in the capability of your people will not only deliver strong business results, but can contribute to creating a long term, visible career pathway for employees.

The Future of Contact Centres in Metaverse

By

The rise of the metaverse is fast becoming one of the top business strategy conversations for contact centres, with many corporations scrambling to get on board and meet their customers wherever they may choose to reside.

Contact centres are pivotal to the metaverse as they can provide customer support and assist in resolving issues for the users within on alternative universe. For many companies that are sitting on the sidelines, what has become most apparent is that early adopters are the big winners in gaining customer loyalty, keeping agents happy and driving better business outcomes.

The metaverse is expected to be worth around $1 trillion by 2030. With over 4.7 billion people using the internet globally, the metaverse is set to become the next big thing. Companies are investing heavily in the metaverse, and many businesses are looking at ways to set up their contact centres in the virtual world.

Contact centres in the metaverse can be set up to provide real-time support to customers. The virtual world can offer an immersive experience where users can interact with agents through avatars. It can also provide a more personalised experience for customers as agents can access customer information in real-time, providing a more customised experience.

At the recent Big Data and AI World in Singapore, I spoke on the ability for customers to experience-set with contact centres, choosing who they want to speak to, in what tone of voice and language. This is revolutionary for customers and doable for contact centres seeking to heighten the experience of customers and improve agent attrition rates.

One of the biggest advantages of contact centres in the metaverse is the ability to provide support across different platforms. Users can access the metaverse through various devices, including mobile phones, computers and gaming consoles. By having contact centres set up in the metaverse, customers can receive support no matter which platform they are using, and at what time of the day they choose.

Companies like Amazon and Facebook have already started investing in the metaverse, and it’s only a matter of time before others follow suit. Amazon recently announced its plan to build its own metaverse, which it calls “New World”. The company plans to use this virtual world to provide a more immersive shopping experience for its customers.

The metaverse can also provide a more efficient way of handling customer inquiries. Agents can use the virtual world to provide customers with visual demonstrations, making it easier to explain complex issues. This can lead to faster resolution times and improve customer satisfaction rates.

In addition to customer support, the metaverse can also be used for employee training and development. Companies can create virtual training environments to teach new hires about the company’s products, services, and policies. This can lead to a more engaged workforce and can improve overall productivity.

The challenges of setting up in the metaverse

Setting up a contact centre in the metaverse is not without its challenges. Companies will need to invest in the necessary technology and infrastructure to ensure that they can provide real-time support to customers. They will also need to train their agents to work in a virtual environment and develop new policies and procedures to ensure that they are providing the best possible support.

The scarcity of IT coders needed to transform a company’s contact centre and create a new environment is yet another burden for contact centres setting up in the metaverse.

As companies navigate their metaverse strategy, early adopters are spending millions on setting up to become major players. This cost is set to come down as new, easy to use technology platforms allow for fast deployment of contact centres in the metaverse.

6 Steps Every Contact Centre Needs To Take

To set up a contact centre in the metaverse, the following steps should be taken:

  1. Determine the type of metaverse platform to use: The first step to setting up a contact centre in the metaverse is to choose a platform that fits the needs of the business. Platforms like Second Life, VRChat, and Sansar are popular choices for businesses looking to set up a presence in the metaverse. Each platform has its own unique features and target audience, so it’s important to do research to determine which platform is best suited for the business.
  2. Build a virtual space: Once a platform is chosen, the next step is to build a virtual space for the contact centre. This space should be designed to provide a comfortable and visually appealing environment for customers to interact with agents. Virtual spaces can be built using in-platform building tools or by hiring a team of designers to create a custom space.
  3. Hire and train agents: Agents who will be interacting with customers in the virtual space must be hired and trained to use the platform and to provide exceptional customer service. Agents must be able to respond to inquiries and provide assistance in real-time while maintaining a professional demeanor.
  4. Integrate with existing systems: Contact centres that are already using customer relationship management (CRM) software and other tools must integrate those systems with the metaverse platform. This will ensure that agents have access to customer data and can provide seamless service.
  5. Advertise the presence in the metaverse: Once the virtual space is built and agents are trained, the contact centre must advertise its presence in the metaverse. This can be done through social media, email campaigns and advertising within the metaverse platform itself.
  6. Monitor performance and adjust as needed: As with any new business venture, it’s important to monitor performance and adjust as needed. Contact centres in the metaverse should track metrics like customer satisfaction, response time, and ticket resolution rate. This data can be used to make adjustments and improvements to the virtual space and customer experience.

Customer experience: Uniquely transformable

Customer experience in the metaverse is a new and unique experience that is different from traditional customer service interactions. In the metaverse, customers can interact with agents in a virtual space using avatars, which can create a more personalised and immersive experience.

One advantage of the metaverse is that it allows customers to receive support from anywhere in the world, without the need for travel. Customers can also receive support at any time, as contact centres in the metaverse operate 24/7. –which in itself is game changing.

In the metaverse, customers can receive support through a range of channels including voice, text chat and video chat. These channels allow customers to choose the channel that they are most comfortable with, and agents can tailor their communication to match the customer’s preference.

Additionally, the metaverse can provide a more visual and interactive experience. For example, agents can use virtual objects to illustrate points or to demonstrate how to use a product or service. This can help customers to better understand complex issues and increase their confidence in the company’s products and services.

Another advantage of the metaverse is that it allows for more personalised experiences. Contact centres can use customer data to tailor interactions to the individual customer’s needs and preferences. If a customer has previously contacted the company about a specific issue, the agent can quickly access that information and provide a more personalised response.

The metaverse is a new and innovative way for companies to provide customer support. By offering personalised and immersive experiences, contact centres in the metaverse can build stronger relationships with their customers and set themselves apart from their competitors.
