How do our government contact centres maintain high levels of service when there is internal pressure to cut costs?
Press Release (PressBurner) Jun 05, 2009 - The Front Line: Government Call Centres in Crisis
Sydney, Australia – 5 June, 2009
It seems Prime Minister Rudd has given the dead a tax bonus payment, but for many Australians still waiting for theirs, the ATO is still being inundated with calls from disgruntled Aussies asking “Where’s mine?”
Similarly, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) has experienced a significant increase in calls as unemployment rises. The challenge for Government Contact Centres hence, is in retaining performance levels with intense pressure to reduce costs.
The Government Contact Centre Summit 2009 aims to tackle this issue head on – with key speakers including Jane King, Deputy Commissioner – Client Contact, ATO and Sharon Pratt, Director – Contact Centre Services, DEEWR, providing expert knowledge on current issues; namely service delivery, employee engagement and staff motivation.
The GCC Summit 09 seeks to inform, educate, and encourage participation between industry practitioners and professionals, ultimately working to answer a common question; How do I keep my staff engaged?
