For employers

Reskilling agents into technical roles.

An explainer for heads of contact centre, customer experience, HR, and learning and development.

The idea

AI creates technical work

Technical work grows

AI makes contact centres more technical. Someone has to set up routing, change call flows, build reports, tune AI tools and support the system when it breaks. That work is hard to recruit for.

The knowledge is already in the building

The people who know your customers, your processes and your systems already work for you.

What it costs when people leave

The cost of losing them

Redundancy pay is only part of the cost. Enhanced packages, consultation, management time and lost knowledge all come on top, and a replacement takes months to reach full speed.

Every redundancy also writes off the recruitment, induction and training already paid for.

Work out the numbers for your team

What an in-house team can do

What reskilled agents can take on

Everyday changes in-house

Your own team can make everyday changes, so you rely less on consultants.

Better AI tools

Staff know where customers struggle, so they know what to fix first.

Champions for new technology

People inside the team who understand it help everyone else trust it.

A signal to staff

Staff notice when an employer invests in them, and so do the people you want to hire.

Not sure where to start?

A short conversation is usually enough to see whether reskilling fits your team.
