This episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast welcomes Playvox Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Randall. The sole focus of Playvox's cloud software for human capital management for is the call center industry. When it comes to workforce management, especially scheduling, call centers are complex, challenging. Plus, everything we hear about the importance of the employee experiences is magnified at call centers. And everything we know about the impact of a positive employee experience on the customer experience is amplified at call centers. Deploy technology capable of improving agents' quality of work-life balance, their employee wellbeing, and customers will have those positive experiences when they need it the most: when they get in touch with the call center. Michelle dives into the particulars, and I highly recommend tuning in.

The transformation goes beyond implementing AI-powered tools; it encompasses a broader shift in organizational culture, processes, and mindset. According to Michelle Randall, Chief Marketing Officer of Playvox (www.playvox.com), an AI-centric WFM enables more flexibility and personalization, which helps foster loyalty and enhance brand reputation.

And it kind of moved up through, I took a bit of a journey as probably many people in your studio audience can testify too.

AI and machine learning, like many similar technologies, have sometimes been viewed with dread as possibly another step forward that somehow diminishes customer experiences and devalues labor. But in this podcast Michelle Randall, CMO, Playvox, argues that AI may hold the key to improve the satisfaction levels of employees and thereby improve customer experiences. In this second of two podcasts, we learn about Playvox's differentiated approach to deploying AI as a way of improving efficiencies, cutting costs, but improving the employee experiences when leveraged to optimize scheduling. Playvox also can analyze customer sentiment, invaluable in a company's visibility to everything from detecting product issues and customers concerns to understanding how to better match team members with anticipated challenges. “AI is a journey, not a one and done answer,” adds Randall.

Playvox helps customers cut costs, improve CX and EX The world where voice was the primary way customers reached out to interact with organizations has disappeared, but the CRM, and other systems, that were built to accommodate that world are still here. According to Michelle Randall, CMO, Playvox, companies need something built, from the ground up, for the digital age. In this podcast, we learn about Playvox, that Randall argues offers powerful differences based on not having to bend legacy systems to fit the era's new challenges. “Customer retention matters,” says Randall, adding that retention depends on CX. “What Playvox figured out was that the agent is the heart and soul of what your customer experience is, so if you can enable, empower and engage the agent, those people will then provide better customer experience, and guess what – that leads to better customer retention.” Visit www.playvox.com
