Takeaways

There is a significant push for employees to return to the office post-COVID. Many companies are struggling with the logistics of bringing employees back. The culture argument for returning to the office is often unfounded. Remote work has shown to be as productive, if not more so, than in-person work. Contact centers have been slower to adopt remote work models compared to other industries. Leaders need to be intentional about fostering community in the workplace. Hybrid work models are challenging to implement effectively. Companies should leverage the opportunity to build stronger teams when employees are in the office. Effective communication tools are essential for maintaining productivity in contact centers. Workforce management is crucial for understanding employee needs and optimizing operations.
