A proven three-step process guides VPs, directors and managers in how to increase agent retention, efficiency, and productivity by building a supervisor leadership climate.

Improving the leadership skills and effectiveness of your supervisors is the best direct method to sustain a reduction in agent attrition. Through ICMI’s Developing Supervisors Who Lead, virtual classroom course, you’ll learn to forge an unbreakable link from manager to agent through “super” supervisors that will have a direct, positive impact on the performance of frontline agents.

Organizations that have engaged, enthusiastic supervisors enjoy reduced attrition, higher efficiency, better schedule adherence, increased employee satisfaction, increased customer satisfaction, and increased revenue. With a focus on why supervisor development is critical, this course will teach you proven methods for constructing a winning program to find, train, and groom supervisors with the skills to effectively manage their teams.

No formal classroom? Limited budget for training? One of the best takeaways from this course is how to build a supervisor leadership skills training program when a formal classroom isn’t an option.
