Whatever industry your call center specializes in, introducing gamification is a powerful but easy way to enhance the performance of your workforce.
Introducing gamification to the call center floor will add a fun element to employees’ day-to-day work schedule and will make “work” feel more like “play”.
Gamification is all about healthy competition and will spark motivation amongst employees, resulting in increased performance!
It’s the elephant in the room, but many call centers struggle with high employee turnover. But by introducing gamification you can make employees more engaged and committed to their work, and less likely to look elsewhere!
Create an engaging call center contest
Working in a call center is often hard work for the agents, so using gamification is a great way to acknowledge and reward employees for their hard work. Valued employees will be more likely to perform better and stay longer in the position!
Every call center, whatever the department or industry, will have its targets that agents need to reach. By using gamification, employees will be aware of their performance, what their KPIs are, and how close they are to reaching their targets.
