Preparing for the Future Workforce
Examining the different models and evolving trends environment for your workforce and people โ whether itโs in the office or the living room
How do you pave the way for your future workforce in the wake of shifting disruption?
In January 2020 this was the question Jennifer Shailer had to determine as they faced the Australian bushfires.
With ongoing disruption and popular opinion unsettled in the wake of mass panic, the contact centres at Australian Red Cross were required to work hard to support their people, at the same time as shifting to a remote workforce.
Hear Jenniferโs powerful story on the importance of maintaining customer loyalty โ and why this always starts with supporting your people.
In a remote working environment, being able to train and upskill your people needs to be done through a structured yet agile approach.
This session will look at the different scripts and methods contact centre leaders can employ to train and upskill their remote workforce. It
is here we will delve into the different personality and learning traits of agents. Each personality type will need a different approach to become the future omni agent who can do it all.

With a strong remote working culture already implemented since 2018, he and the team have begun the task of setting an internal contact centre workforce over in New Zealand.
Learn how they did it. The result? A reduction in cost by up to 30%
Q: If You Could Shift One Thing In Your Businessโ Operating Structure, What Would it Be?
Did you know that for the majority of contact centre leaders, they only understand up to 70% of the technology they purchase?
Incredible innovations have become prominent in the field today โ however for a majority of organisations, the technologies the contact centre employs must be based upon their customerโs expectations and requirements.
This panel will discuss how they choose to invest in technology today, and the incredible discoveries theyโve found in working with current technology providers to understand the full capabilities of their systems.
Panelists:
Now is the time to put your learnings to good use! Each table within the conference hall will be allocated a card, and in that card will be a โwhat would you doโ scenario if your CX and/or contact centre operations were disrupted.
All participants will get one scenario and have 60 minutes to develop a strategy to address this. They will then revert back to the group with their plan of attack!
You will have one facilitator per table (virtual and in-person) guiding you to develop the right strategy!
