FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SURVEY SUGGESTS THAT ALLOWING
AGENTS TO WORK FROM HOME IS A SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY FOR CALL CENTERS
BOULDER, CO, January 29, 2002 - When CallCenterCareers.com surveyed 504
call center professionals to determine their call center's experience
with allowing agents to work from home, 30.4 % voted that their call
center allows agents to work from home and it has been a successful
experience. Only 7.1% voted that allowing agents to work from home was
unsuccessful.
9.1 % voted that their call center was going to try allowing agents to
work at home within the next year. 53.4% voted that their call center
would not consider allowing agents to work from home.
"While the potential benefits of telecommuting have always been
compelling, many initiatives launched in the early to mid 1990s did not
get much beyond the trial stage," according to Brad Cleveland,
President of Incoming
Calls Management Institute (ICMI). "In recent years, the
success rate has been much higher, which can be attributed to better
planning before launch, more disciplined pilot studies, robust security
capabilities, lower network costs and more 'how to' information. This
is an area that deserves consideration."
