How a targeted contact center assessment and training redesign strengthened employee experience and operational performance.
“NRG did a great job facilitating the information and helping us redesign training in a way that increased agent empowerment and reduced workload for leaders. They took a complex, information-heavy program and made it easier for agents to absorb and for trainers to teach. This work filled a gap we’ve had for a long time and created a foundation we didn’t have before.”
