Join the leaders of the call centre industry and tackle the biggest issue in customer management - staff attrition. Learn innovative strategies for attraction, recruitment and retention.

Fresh, innovative thinking is the theme of this unique conference. Call Centre Clinic's conference team have carefully researched and selected expert speakers from within the call centre industry, from leading consulting practices, and from outside. The aim is to deliver an infusion of new ideas and provoke best-practice debate.

Key themes of Attrition Boot Camp 2008 are:

  • Costing staff disengagement and attrition
  • Building a compelling employer brand
  • Retention through diversity - attracting diverse candidates
  • The issue of remuneration
  • Making employee engagement a strategic priority
  • Role of team leaders in engagement and retention
  • Enabling agent's personal growth and development

Attrition Boot Camp 2008 isn't a traditional conference. It is grounded in the Agent's Journey from pre-application, through recruitment and into employment. The speakers will facilitate thought-provoking debate and discussion, both in the conference room and during the networking breaks.
