QStory helps the planning and operations teams manage over 3,500, multi-skilled, agents at Nationwide Building Society – giving front line staff greater flexibility and empowerment while simultaneously improving contact centre performance.
The Problem
Nationwide Building Society’s planning team was inundated with requests and manual processes, they had become administrators rather than analysts. They wanted to give agents more flexibility and control over their shifts and breaks, but couldn’t do so without causing mountains of admin.
They wanted to ensure that their multi-skilled agents were deployed in the best way, to ensure customer queries were handled effectively.
Agents can now arrange to meet their friends for a coffee. That might seem like a small thing, but it’s had a massive impact on happiness and wellbeing.”
