The Contact Center Conflict: Remote Work vs. Return to the Office
Contact centers have successfully shifted to remote work. But the future for returning to the office remains unclear and fraught with conflict.
The Playvox team conducted research to understand the impact remote work has had on contact centers. The results highlight the large gap between agents who want to remain remote and managers who are planning a return to the office.
