Event Closed: Welcome to the Hybrid Workforce – Humans and Technology Working Together
Join fellow customer experience professionals at Get Connected 2019. Puzzel’s annual event attracts over 150 contact centre and customer service practitioners and the focus this year is on the hybrid workforce where technology and humans work together.
As customers and employees span different generations, engagement and dialogues take on a greater role at an individual level. For contact centres this means offering new ways of working and creates a new type of employee.
We will also consider the potential impact of replacing humans and technology across channels and how agents will welcome technology that presents them with the right information at the right time to help them do their job.
This is your opportunity to Get Connected with a hybrid workforce where technology and humans work seamlessly together to meet both customer and employee demands.
Get Connected is a free half-day conference and places are limited so book your place now!
