Case Study 1: A call centre facing dwindling application numbers and poor staff retention
Applicant numbers were declining for this specialist Government services call centre. The Department was also challenged with the regular attrition of new recruits prior to the completion of their training period. These factors resulted in the call centre constantly operating below its required staffing levels. This led to increased costs of overtime and increased pressure to deliver required service levels and call handling times.
Case Study 2: One hundred temporary workers to start tomorrow please
HOBAN was contacted late afternoon by a department requiring 100 temporary staff for the following day. The roles were newly created, and involved face to face customer service work as part of a high profile, time critical project. Turnaround time and the ability to mobilise quality people quickly was essential.
