For all the transformation that has taken place over the past few years, one thing has remained the same: calls for customer and employee centricity are largely going unanswered. Despite all the talk about improving experiences, customers continue to encounter the same pain points when interacting with brands. Agents continue to encounter the same friction when attempting to perform their jobs.
With the stakes of the customer experience continuing to grow, contact centers cannot succumb to the same complacency in 2023. They cannot spend another year trumpeting the importance of reducing effort, increasing personalization, leveraging AI, and undergoing digital transformation only to deliver the same, cumbersome, impersonal experiences.
