The past couple of years have been characterized as the &#8220;Great Resignation,&#8221; as workers across the US quit their jobs in droves in hopes of something bigger and better. Contact centers, in particular, have notoriously high turnover rates, and the recent health crisis has exacerbated the issue.<\/p>\n<p>If your <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/contact-center.html\">contact center<\/a> is experiencing high agent turnover, paying attention to agent attrition trends can help you discover where and how to reverse the trends, improve operations, and reduce the heavy costs associated with agent churn.<\/p>\n<p>To discover agent attrition trends across the industry, BenchmarkPortal conducted a survey to gain some valuable insight into what is driving agents to leave their jobs. According to BenchmarkPortal, the pandemic seems to have had a significant impact on agent attrition. More specifically, 65.6% poll participants reported an increase in attrition.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbc <\/b><\/span>\ud83d\udcab <span class=\"s2\"><b>Teamwork makes the dream work <\/b><\/span>\ud83d\udcab <span class=\"s2\"><b>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbc<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0The key to building a customer-centric team: Enterprise edition eBook<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"download-form-widget enterprise-download-form\" data-url=\"https:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/ebook\/building-a-customer-centric-team.pdf\" data-id=\"69d477d3add0f\" id=\"69d477d3add0f\">\n\t\t<button tabindex=\"on\"  on=\"tap:69d477d3add0f.toggleClass(class='open')\" class=\"open-modal-download-action download-form-button\" type=\"submit\">Get the eBook<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"download-form-modal\">\n<div class=\"download-form-modal-body\">\n<div class=\"download-form-modal-content\">\n<div class=\"download-form-modal-title\">The key to building a customer-centric team: Enterprise edition eBook<\/div>\n<form class=\"download-form ENTERPRISE\" method=\"post\">\n<div class=\"download-form-part\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"download-form-input\" aria-label=\"Full Name\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" type=\"text\" name=\"fullname\" placeholder=\"Full Name\" data-dl-events-hover=\"true\" data-dl-element=\"text\" data-dl-additional-info=\"enterprise download form\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"download-form-part\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"download-form-input\" aria-label=\"Email (please enter a work email address)\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" type=\"email\" autocomplete=\"on\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Email (please enter a work email address)\" data-dl-events-hover=\"true\" data-dl-element=\"email\" data-dl-additional-info=\"enterprise download form\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"popup_form\" value=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Lead_Entry_Source__c\" value=\"RC Blog Enterprise\" class=\"download-form-input\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"download-form-part\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"download-form-submit\" type=\"submit\" data-dl-element=\"button\" data-no-auto-dl=\"true\" data-dl-additional-info=\"enterprise download form\" data-dl-name=\"Take me to it\">Take me to it<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<button on=\"tap:69d477d3add0f.toggleClass(class='open')\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"  class=\"download-form-modal-close\"><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"download-form-modal-thank\"> Happy reading!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Here are some of the main factors that drive agent attrition, and what you can do about them.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\">9 major reasons for agent attrition<\/h2>\n<p>According to data collected by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkportal.com\/product\/contact-center-benchmark-report\/\">Benchmark Portal&#8217;s recent survey<\/a>, the following top the list for reasons why agents leave their jobs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Increased workload: 55.9%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Compensation too low: 52.9%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Struggle with tools\/software: 51.5%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lack of manager support: 33.8%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">No clear career path: 33.8%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lack of collaboration\/access to supervisors\/SMEs: 32.4%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Didn&#8217;t like working from home: 27.5%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Low CSAT\/angry customers: 26.0%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Concerned that they&#8217;ll be replaced by AI\/bots: 7.4%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at a few of these in more detail:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\">5 agent attrition warning signs<\/h2>\n<p>While there are a lot of reasons for <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/how-to-hold-on-to-agents-in-a-hybrid-contact-center\/\">agent turnover<\/a>, these five factors are the canary in the coal mine. If your contact center agents are doing more work for the same compensation and feel frustrated with your contact center software, you might be on a path to high agent attrition.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\">1. Increased workload<\/h3>\n<p>The rate of agent turnover has been inching up over recent years. Meanwhile, agents seemingly are increasing the number of calls they&#8217;re taking per hour.<\/p>\n<p>While the last set of numbers may look promising, they could also be leading to agent burnout. More calls taken per hour could be a sign of more efficiency, but it could also point to more work being piled on agents, who may feel more overwhelmed with their jobs and <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/tips-to-prevent-contact-center-burnout\/\">burn out faster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Contact centers need to be careful with numbers like these and may consider easing the level of agent work by increasing training and tools; otherwise, agents may resign in greater numbers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best things management can do to ensure agents are still productive without risking burnout is to provide them with the tools and training needed to get the job done. That means investing in comprehensive training at onboarding, as well as providing ongoing training as required.<\/p>\n<p>It also means giving agents the technology and tools needed to be as efficient and successful at fielding customer calls as possible, which many contact centers may be lacking.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\">2. Low compensation<\/h3>\n<p>Pay is always a factor in <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/employee-happiness\/\">employee satisfaction<\/a>. Higher pay is always welcome, but contact centers must balance agent desire for higher pay with organizational desire to keep costs in check. That said, contact centers can offer competitive pay by ensuring their bottom line is always protected, and a big part of that involves cutting costs where possible, including reducing agent attrition.<\/p>\n<p>It costs thousands of dollars for contact centers to attract and retain certified and properly trained agents, so keeping them on payroll for as long as possible can slash costs. Some of these savings may be passed on to agents in the form of better pay.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\">3. Struggle with tools and software<\/h3>\n<p>About half of respondents of BenchmarkPortal&#8217;s poll claim that either a lack of modern technology or inadequate training on how to use these tools properly is a problem that can push agents out the door faster.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the more specific issues that agents complain about in the realm of technology include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">System issues<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Technology glitches<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Slow speed<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Too many apps<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Too little integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Contact centers should invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/assessing-digital-maturity-for-your-next-gen-cloud-contact-center\/\">robust digital platforms<\/a> to help agents become more efficient at work and provide in-depth training on how to use these tools effectively.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking that you cannot invest in advanced technology right now, it may be time to re-evaluate your position. In many cases, using leading-edge technology can actually slash costs. For example, RingCentral\u2019s market-leading contact center solution is a one-stop solution for contact centers that includes everything you need to run your center effectively and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>This all-in-one solution reduces the need for app switching, making agents more efficient and productive and improving their work experience in the process. Happier agents mean lower attrition rates in the long run. The lesson? Investing in the right technology can actually reduce overall costs while increasing overall productivity and profitability for your contact center.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53169 size-full\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/agent-at-work.jpeg\" alt=\"agent attrition: call center agent at work\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\">4. Lack of manager support<\/h3>\n<p>Agents seem to be more satisfied when they feel that their workplace is a community. Employees want to feel like they&#8217;re part of something that works well to achieve a common goal, and supervisors play a key role in helping to create a positive company culture. Admittedly, this can be challenging when a large portion of your agents may be working remotely, but the right communication tools can help even remote workers feel a part of the work community.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\">5. Lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/collaboration-problem\/\">collaboration<\/a> with supervisors and coworkers<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, a remote or hybrid workplace model can increase the likelihood that agents feel out of touch with their supervisors. Especially for agents accustomed to working in the same physical location with supervisors, suddenly being in the position of working remotely may cause an uncomfortable disconnect.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisors can ease this discomfort by using collaboration tools to stay in touch with agents no matter where they are. Scheduling regular check-ins to discuss agent concerns is a good way to maintain connection.<\/p>\n<p>Contact center solutions that include workforce management and analytics also play a role in keeping supervisors and agents connected. With in-depth analytics on agent performance, for example, supervisors can quickly identify and address signs of agent burnout, which, in turn, can lower attrition rates appreciably.<\/p>\n<h2>How to reduce agent attrition in your call center: Technology can help<\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, BenchmarkPortal&#8217;s data also showed some of the main reasons why contact centers with low attrition rates have been so successful. Many of the reasons for lower rates of attrition stem from better use of technology, as can be seen from the following figures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Enabled <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/virtual-collaboration-how-to-improve-remote-work\/\">remote work<\/a>: 70.1%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Strong manager support: 57.9%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/effective-hybrid-teams\/\">Effective collaboration<\/a> and access to managers: 50.5%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Flexible tools and software: 37.5%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Career coaching and transparent advancement opportunities: 37.4%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Managed CSAT and effectively managed customer needs: 29%<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Help agents with <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/customer-service-ai\/\">AI tools<\/a>: 21.5%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Implementing strong managerial leadership and innovative technology can make a significant difference in agent retention rates.<\/p>\n<h2>RingCentral&#8217;s holistic approach to reducing agent attrition<\/h2>\n<p><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" title=\"RingCentral | Create amazing customer experiences\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1WrNoCWiOU4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While contact centers traditionally spend a lot of time in a <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/customer-centric-culture-starts-with-your-employees\/\">customer-focused mentality<\/a>, perhaps migrating to an agent-focused environment may work best.
