Contact Center Supervisors are responsible for a multitude of duties and tasks on top of developing their teams - their number one priority. Any advice on how to stay on top of team development while handling escalated calls, supporting dept. initiatives, etc.? Are they given time off the phones during the day, week, or month specifically for one-on-ones or other team development?

    This is a great question. I would recommend that the first step would be to have your supervisors to do a time tracking exercise. It is always amazing to see "where does my time go?" This is especially enlightening when you have multiple supervisors with similar duties...Often after this exercise,while you might expect the lists of time breakdowns to be very similar they are remarkably different. What I've found is that some supervisors have a real knack for geting creative and managing their time effectively whereas others would benefit from some time management assistance. This process can "illuminate" those areas and also some best practices...and best practices are always best when they come from your own center!
