2:30 PM - 3:30 PM Wednesday, March 22
Games and Gamification
Poinsettia/Quince
In order to provide top-notch customer service, call center agents are required to master an ever-growing number of knowledge and skill sets during training, including sales skills, enterprise tools, products, and policies and procedures. As traditional assessments are often limited to isolated application, facts, or memorized data at lower-level thinking skills, they tend to fall short of testing whether the agents can actually apply their learning and perform on the job.
In this session, you’ll explore the benefits of using game assessments over traditional assessments in call centers, including how this approach can drive employee engagement. You’ll learn how to create game assessments for this environment that motivate employees with healthy competition and recognition for great performance. By the end of this session, you’ll have a repertoire of gamification techniques and methods that you can use to assess higher-order thinking skills and true on-the-job performance.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why game assessments are a great fit for call centers
- How games and game assessments can drive employee engagement
