eLearning technologies are designed to fit the
unique call center environment and also address each agent’s
needs. eLearning tools also provide a solution for agents that cannot be away
from the phones, gives supervisors and call center managers a way to cut
through the deluge of information already bombarding agents, and get agents
critical updates that they’ll immediately see and understand.
Successful eLearning is achieved by focusing on two
main areas — content and delivery. Companies must have the option to create
eLearning content with easy-to-use tools, link to computer-based training
and/or utilize existing content in order to maximize dollars. The second area
of focus to achieve success is delivery.
eLearning must be delivered directly to agents at their desks at the right
time. This ensures agents receive education when it does not adversely affect
incoming calls.
