Development and implementation of Quality Management Processes. Many of our customers have benefited from our consultants working with them to develop quality processes for all types of media either during contact centre start-up, consolidation or because there is no consistent process in place or the process is simply not working. Our consultants will develop the process, the documentation and the ongoing management responsibilities to ensure that the process supports the delivery of service in line with customer expectations.

Delivery of Mystery Shopper Services. Either in tandem with the provision of support in the development of Quality Management Processes as above or as a stand alone service, we provide an objective service which helps you understand the service you provide from the customer's viewpoint. Our reporting provides detailed analysis which enables you to develop the quality of service on an ongoing basis.

Delivery of Contact Centre Management Recruitment Services. We work in partnership with our customers to attract, assess and select managers that not only bring with them the right skills, knowledge, behaviours and experience but also that fit culturally within the operation and the business. As part of this service we may develop and deliver the whole process or simply provide resources to support the delivery of an existing process - or anything in between (all the time taking an educational approach so that you learn throughout the support process). Whilst we tend to specialise in supporting the recruitment of managers, we also help organisations with the recruitment of team managers, team leaders and agents.

Delivery of Forecasting and Planning 'Healthcheck' Reviews to identify specific improvement opportunities in the forward planning and scheduling process. Whether you have a Workforce Management Tool or are using more manual methods such as spreadsheets, our consultants will provide a full, highly detailed report on the strengths and weaknesses of current ways of working, together with recommendations for improvement.
