Before 2020, many employers were wary, citing concerns about eroding camaraderie and dwindling productivity as barriers to a work-from-home policy. However, after taking the remote work model for a mandated test drive, many employers – including outsource call centers – have embraced the idea as a permanent option.
This model allows for agents to work comfortably from home but within a proximal distance for occasional in-person visits. Your HQ or “hub” feeds the decentralized “spokes” of your at-homeagents, with in-person visits typically narrowed around ongoing training or remedial supervision for under-performing team members.
In order to best serve your customers, agents need to be ready to answer questions and facilitate processes quickly. Luckily, at-homeagents love the flexibility and convenience of working from home. Set Goals — Just like lowering AHT, you call center agents should always be aiming toward metric goals.
Luckily, solutions have emerged, like gamification, to give supervisors fun and motivating incentives that target key performance metrics, such as: Best CSAT agent score. These incentives can be shared with all your agents and integrated into existing solutions and third-party tools. Lowest AHT. Highest FCR. They should.
At Outsource Consultants, we’ve seen firsthand how companies can thrive with distributed customer service teams. Gamification Boosts Engagement and Motivation Gamification transforms routine tasks into engaging challenges. Design your gamification strategy carefully.

Leveraging over 20 years of business process outsourcing and experience, Terry is one of the subject matter experts on technology, remote working, customer experience (CX), and GigCX. Having more gamification, having more activity and engagement in this, that’s really critical in today’s workforce. That’s number one.
