At Virtual/Online
Register/Additional Information
Managing people in an environment as fast-paced as a contact centre means multi-tasking and constantly rising to challenges, whether you’re a Contact Centre Team Leader or a Contact Centre Manager. It’s enough to tax anyone’s resilience.
According to mentalhealth.org.uk resilience is the “ability to cope with the normal stress of life as well as being able to bounce back from a crisis.” NHS England says it’s “the ability to maintain personal wellbeing in the face of challenge.”
This course is aimed at leaders who want to learn how to improve and manage their resilience to maintain their mental state and prevent burnout.
Course Description
Do any of the scenarios below resonate with you or your team?
You may have had a really bad call and you’re now feeling stressed or angry. You need to change the way you think and feel quickly before your next call or meeting to maintain clarity and focus.
You’ve just finished from a bad day at work, and you can’t switch off. It’s impacting your mental state and personal life and you’d rather have choice over how you think and feel.
This course provides tools and techniques to improve your emotional intelligence and physical and mental wellbeing to reduce the risk of burnout whilst boosting your resilience.

Benefits to your business
Your frontline managers and staff face some of the most difficult challenges in your business. The contact centre, after all, is one of the main interfaces between your organisation and your customers. Every time an agent answers a call they must appear friendly, welcoming, and full of energy.
The job of your team leaders and managers is to keep agents operating at their peak, whilst coping with multiple other demands on their time in a fast-paced, complex working environment.
Equipping your team leaders and managers with the knowledge and skills to understand and manage their own mental state and resilience – and help their teams face the same challenges too – could be key to your contact centre’s overall performance.
