Most organisations strive for a steady flow of happy customers who are satisfied with their interactions and enthusiastically advocate for their brand. It is well understood that one of the key ways to achieve this is to have happy employees.
We are once again proud sponsors of the UK National Contact Centre Awards, which we feel is vital in helping promote excellence in our industry. Alongside sponsoring and presenting awards, we have also had the honour to take part in the judging process. We take a look at what makes a great judge.

We’re passionate advocates of the power of good training programmes, and we know it’s one of the most important investments a company can make.
