Call Center Agent Turnover, Retention and Productivity Survey Launched by The International Customer Management Institute

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The International Customer Management Institute (ICMI), launched its 2012 Call Center Agent Turnover, Retention and Productivity survey in an email solicitation to call centers and vendors around the world and online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ICMIResearchAgentTurnover2012.

This survey examines actionable data and key trends that will help call center and customer care managers, directors and executives make critical decisions, implement new processes and update old ones to ensure that agents have a long and productive career in the call center.

This research revisits one of the call center industry's most popular topics, following up on ICMI's 2007 research initiative on agent turnover and retention.

"Every call center professional knows the impact--and challenge--of keeping good agents and making sure they can perform at their best," said Layne Holley, ICMI's Director of Community Services. "With this research initiative, we hope to help contact center and customer service leaders drive performance in cost saving and customer satisfaction and loyalty. To do that, we need to understand how organizations are motivating, developing, retaining and supporting their agents." Respondents completing the survey between today and Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 11:59pm EST will be entered into a drawing to win one (1) All-Access Pass to ACCE 2012 (www.icmi.com/ACCE) (a $2,495 value) and one (1) Kindle Fire (a $199 value). The winner will be notified by phone or email and be announced in ICMI's weekly e-newsletter Call Center Insider (http://www.icmi.com/subscriptions) on February 9, 2012.

All respondents who complete the survey by Friday, February 24, 2012 will also be entered into a drawing to win one (1) 8GB iPod Touch (a $199 value) and ICMI's Virtual Library, which includes all 2010/2011 ICMI research reports, plus the report generated from this survey, 12 Traits of the Best Managed Call Centers and the Call Center Management on Fast Forward eBook (a $1,044 value). The winner will be notified by phone or email and be announced in ICMI's weekly e-newsletter Call Center Insider (http://www.icmi.com/subscriptions) on March 1, 2012.

This is an anonymous survey; individual responses will remain confidential and will not be shared or stored.

In May 2012, a free whitepaper on the survey results will be posted on www.icmi.com, and the complete research report will be available for purchase.
