TELUS has fourteen contact center sites worldwide with over 8,000 agents handling up to 28 million interactions annually. TELUS had many disparate systems for operational reporting and faced challenges to present the information in a central hub. As a result, senior management had no visibility of operational performance into the contact center and individual agents.
THE SOLUTIONS
In an effort to centralize its reporting activities and gain greater visibility into its contact center operations, TELUS wanted to integrate the data from its numerous sources to create “one version of the truth” with a common set of metrics and goals. By integrating the data, senior management could receive standardized performance reports of all levels of the customer experience operations in the organization. They also wanted to have the flexibility to view the data from various perspectives so that team members can easily drill down into agent performance information. This would empower employees to improve their performance with timely role-relevant, secure and personalized information via dashboards, reports and analytics.
TELUS decided to add NICE Performance Management for hosted environments to their already deployed NICE IEX Workforce Management solutions. NICE Performance Management helps organizations increase accountability and establish a culture of continuous improvement, essential to reaching business goals. It delivers personalized performance data to every employee in the organization while automating critical managerial activities. The solution’s robust capabilities include performance analytics from cross-channel sources, dashboards for front line employees, and a suite of management reports for mid and senior leadership.
By deploying NICE Performance Management in a hosted environment, TELUS was able to enjoy significant improvements in key performance indicators since they were able to create a central location for all operational reporting and retire a number of standalone reporting systems. Additionally, senior management now had visibility into more accurate operational results for all levels of the organization so they could take the necessary steps to improve the customer experience. “NICE SPM has become the single definitive source of both compensation data and performance metrics for our business.”
NICE Performance Management also enabled team managers to significantly reduce the time spent gathering data related to agent performance and use that time to coach agents so they could improve their KPI results. With a systematic coaching framework, managers were better equipped to provide consistent direction for agents and link coaching to results. By improving agent awareness of their individual performance and with targeted coaching, agents were able to improve their KPI results by 6–14 percent.
“The NICE Cloud solution offered us the opportunity to launch in a shorter time frame by allowing us to leverage the technical expertise at NICE and inhouse support on a proven platform. This directly translated into more cost savings over the life of the project.”
