One of the clear statements about micromanagement is that micromanagers control outcomes and not people. It might be valid to some extent, but we believe in looking at things from different perspectives. The common belief is that the word has a negative connotation. And why not? It is frustrating and demotivating. As if dealing with a tough job wasn't enough, you now have to deal with a nagging boss.

Equality is not Pie. Equal rights for others doesn’t mean fewer rights for you. Imagine going to a beautiful store but you’re not allowed to enter because you have blue hair. You won’t like it, would you? Equality is a necessity that every individual must enjoy.

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.
