It can be frustrating when you don't feel like you're on the same page as your boss. The result is that you've had some unpleasant exchanges in emails, or she ignores you in meetings. Maybe you've even heard that she's criticized you to others. Whatever the reason, it's not something that can be ignored. When you're not jelling with your boss, your career will pay the price.

Wow. A lot has happened in just a short period of time. It’s enough to make your head spin, right? In the past two weeks, the world as we know it has dramatically changed in response to the COVID-19 virus. Many professionals are now working from home for the first time with little to no preparation.

First, let me say how sorry I am that we're all going through this.

A few months ago, 2020 was predicted to be the “year of remote work.” But even the most optimistic telecommuting advocates never anticipated the launch of the world’s largest work-from-home experiment before the end of the first quarter. While many of us are used to swanky offices in tony districts of our cities and whether we are ready or not, COVID-19 has transitioned many companies to enable remote work at scale.

Studies show that high performers thrive on feedback. If you want to know what you’re good at, ask yourself: what would you like to hear feedback about? I was so excited to hear feedback about my writing, but it took me ten years to sign up for a writing course. The hardest thing about trying something new isn’t the thought of failure. We can imagine failure just like we can imagine success, so it’s predictable.

In the coming weeks and months you're going to hear a lot about "transferable skills." Transferable skills are those abilities that you can use in a variety of jobs: communication, organization and teamwork. They may also include things like customer service, or familiarity with some software programs. The reason these skills are going to become so important is that as millions of workers try to get back to work once the COVID-19 pandemic is under control, they are going to need to apply for job

Companies spend a lot of money -- more than $4,000 -- to bring on a new employee. Then, it costs more than $1,200 to train each new worker. The Society for Human Resource Management says that about one quarter of new workers leave within their first year, which means that companies are doing a pretty fair job of hanging onto their investment in the early days.

There is no question about how important it is to train supervisors or front-line leaders on essential leadership skills. Supervisors are typically promoted due to their technical skills, knowledge, and expertise, but they often haven’t yet developed the skills required to be a strong supervisor and fulfill their leadership responsibilities effectively, which can have many far-reaching repercussions on the organization.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
