Member Request:

Graham Hardy, Head of Customer Care at Boots, is keen to hear from members in any sector who'd be happy to do some sharing!

Two things: He's keen to do some benchmarking around the ratio of contacts and complaints to transactions; And his contact centre leadership team are really keen to get out and about. They've recently implemented a new workforce scheduler and Voice IVR and they're keen to see how others are maximising the opportunities these initiatives can bring. Of course reciprocal visits would be the order of the day and not many people leave Boots at Nottingham without a generous goodie bag - now there's an incentive to get in touch with Graham direct: graham.hardy@boots.co.uk.

How Followers are Creating Change

"We cannot presume, especially in this day and age, that followers will automatically follow."  Barbara Kellerman was recently interviewed by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement. It's reproduced here with their kind permission. It's an interesting view in the context of engaging your workforce to serve. Her latest book is called Followership: How Followers Are Creating Change and Changing Leaders and you can buy it on our website www.socapie.eu
