Red's 10 Days of Data! 📊 As we all start the year with gusto, working to implement 2025's #contactcentre plans, Red is pleased to announce our '10 Days of Data' to help with your contact centre considerations. Red will be posting a statistic every day from our 2024 Contact Centre survey which 124 contact centres all across the UK participated in. We hope you are able to take away some key insights to help you kickstart your operation for 2025.🗒️ Make sure to come back everyday to stay up to date with this latest industry insight. To kick us off we talk operating hours. 🕐 Perhaps one of the biggest changes in the industry since Covid. Nearly as many centres now work Monday to Friday as they do Monday to Saturday. 📅 Of those that work Monday to Saturday, 30% are considering changing their hours with the majority looking at reducing Saturdays 📅 Of those that work Monday to Sunday, 50% are considering changing their hours, most commonly to make Saturdays and Sundays shorter The question is, are customers now expecting to be serviced less at the weekend or is it that the demand is still there, but these more difficult servicing hours are being outsourced to help with resource and budget pressures? Red's data tells us it's a mixture of both, but we're interested to know your thoughts. #10DaysOfData #RedRecruitment #ContactCentre #IndustryInsights #Data #OperatingHours Katy Forsyth Jessica Taylor Matt Casey

Friday the 13th Poll: Is your desktop scarier than Saw, Jason, and Freddie Krueger combined? 🧟♀️ 👻 I’d like to tell you it doesn’t matter. And it doesn’t ... but also, it sorta does. It's a sign that something isn’t working. The process, the labor plan, something.  Small things like this are easy to ignore, but their impacts add up. More than anything though, they keep us from understanding the bigger root problems.  Physical and digital clutter just don’t work in logistics. Our work is too time critical, too dependent on the details. ❌ Scattered post-it notes ❌ Messy desktops ❌ Overflowing inboxes These are all signs. They tell me there might also be incomplete or inaccurate data in the systems. Or SOP’s that aren’t updated (or even worse, aren’t used).  We're wrapping up conference season and approaching peak. The holidays are right around the corner (and maybe even an East Coast port strike on Oct 1): The. Pressure. Is. On.   So, take a moment to rededicate yourself to the processes ‘January You’ set in place. The ones you thought were going to change everything. Because ‘January You’ was right. You just need to commit to process when the going gets tough.  What are some tell-tale signs you've seen that usually mean balls are being dropped? #management #peakseason #process #organization #logsitics
