Organizations are encountering unplanned challenges as the COVID-19 pandemic, also known as Coronavirus, continues to spread across the world. The current situation has presented a range of challenges across several industries, especially in terms of customer interactions. Here are some common challenges we have seen during crisis situations.
- Significant increase in sustained call volume and strained staffing
- Work from home challenges
- Self-service capabilities such as IVR is strained or not effective
- Don’t have AI-enabled communications such as chatbots and digital assistants
- Contact center systems are near or at capacity
- Need additional channels such as webchat and SMS for customer interaction
- Not clear about exactly why customers need to call rather than use online and mobile
