How Can We Address the CX Workforce Confidence Gap?

Recent data from Glassdoor’s Employee Confidence Index reveals a troubling trend. U.S. workers are experiencing a significant gap between expectations and reality, with only 46.4% of professionals reporting a positive six-month business outlook. This decline in confidence stems from diminishing satisfaction with leadership transparency and communication, especially in the post-pandemic era.

In a recent Forbes article, WeCruitr Founder and CEO, Jack Kelly brilliantly highlighted the insights from Glassdoor’s study, underscoring the critical challenge facing all organizations, and in our view customer contact operations in particular: fostering engagement, collaboration, and a shared purpose among their workforce. Kelly’s interpretation and strategic guidance are invaluable as we navigate these challenges. Please check out Jack’s excellent piece here.

At TouchPoint One, we believe there’s a direct solution to the challenges Jack outlines. Our A-GAME Leagues platform is designed to address these exact issues within the customer contact space by fostering leadership accountability and employee engagement through gamification.

A-GAME Leagues is the only contact center gamification solution that employs a fantasy sports model to drive engagement, camaraderie, and performance across all levels of the CX workforce. At the core of A-GAME Leagues is the Xtreme league, where senior executives and company leaders draft teams comprised of front-line customer service agents. This unorthodox composition immediately creates a sense of interdependence – the leaders' success hinges on actively supporting and developing the agents on their "fantasy-style" drafted teams.

The Xtreme league draft process requires team owners to select agents from different performance tiers, ensuring that their teams mirror the natural performance distribution found in standard teams. By managing teams that resemble real-world performance dynamics, Xtreme team owners gain a more authentic experience of the challenges and opportunities involved in leading and developing diverse talent.
