Global Agent Engagement Trends: A Customer Perspective
Description
Business leaders have renewed their focus on CX, given the current global political and economic uncertainty. This focus extends to attention on security, business continuity, and operational efficiencies. More strategic, long-term objectives, such as market penetration, embracing AI, and enhancing employee experience, rank lower for the 2025-2026 period. However, these priorities remain top of mind for more than half of businesses.
As AI infusion fuels the usage of self-service channels for increasingly complex tasks, the calls reaching agents are even more complicated and emotional. Top customer frustrations include long wait times, a lack of personalization, and slow resolution times. These are driving factors for contact centers’ renewed focus on upskilling agents and hiring and retaining the right talent to empower agents to resolve issues more efficiently and effectively.
