Arielle’s Training Tips*
*for customer service leaders, not dogs
- You have to actually be invested in your support team’s feedback.
For agents to feel empowered, to feel like their voice matters, and like they’re a part of a collaborative process, you have to move beyond lip service and actually put actions in place to make your team feel heard.
- Be transparent with your training.
Make sure that when new processes roll out, people actually understand the reasons behind them instead of, ‘this is what we’re doing now – get used to it’.
