Employees have lost faith in leaders' ability to move the business forward. Supervisors are trying to band-aid processes and the lack of technology to keep their teams moving. Frustration is leading to a mass exodus. Increased recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, nesting and new agent speedto competency all costs money. Eroding brand reputation as a result of negative customer care interactions is causing customers to jump ship and move to the competition in hopes of a better customer experience.
