Why is a Contact Center Employer of Choice Brand Important?

A Contact Center Employer of Choice™ brand gives you instant credibility as a world class, employee focused organization. Employer of Choice companies are admired for their innovative people programs and their ability to outperform the competition. In today’s ultra-competitive global market, contact centers must demonstrate that they are a 'great place to work' in order to attract, retain and engage the brightest talent. This is critical if they want to maintain their leadership positions, grow their organizations and increase shareholder value.
   
 
What is the Contact Center Employer of Choice™ program?

The program certifies and brands contact centers as employers of choice. A proprietary 2 phased evaluation is used to assess current operations and a detailed summary report helps you pinpoint specific areas for improvement. The results of the assessment determine if your contact center meets the minimum standards to qualify as a Contact Center Employer of Choice™.

There are 3 levels of certification: Standard, Gold and Platinum. Once standards are met, your center is officially recognized and presented with the prestigious Contact Center Employer of Choice™ certificate. You are then listed in the CCEOC Registry - the official listing of certified Contact Center Employers of Choice™.

You may also want to tap into our roster of industry experts who will work with you to improve areas you may be struggling with. They can help you achieve and maintain your Contact Center Employer of Choice™ status.
   
  Why is there a need for an Employer of Choice program specific to contact centers?

Contact centers seeking to brand themselves as a Contact Center Employer of Choice™ need to assess their operations separately from the rest of the organization for a number of reasons:

  • Their distinctive and self-contained environment

  • The unique demands placed upon their staff

  • Their methods of operation

  • External pressures

  • Specialized needs and concerns of the employees
  • Rigid scheduling requirements

  • Contact Centers often develop their own subculture that can be different from that of the corporation. They have their own language, performance measures, dress code, hierarchical structure and social network. It is possible that employer of choice companies are not operating employer of choice contact centers. The reverse can also be true. In addition, corporate surveys don't always provide the complete picture. This makes it even more important to conduct separate, third party assessments.
