Agents who are unsupported by “the cubicle next door” and by their knowledge systems are clearly going to provide lower-quality and slower service – and will suffer in terms of morale themselves. Think of carpenters with well-ordered workshops, who know exactly where to find the tools needed to complete their tasks.

This can result in multiple follow-up calls and longer averagehandletimes, exacerbating customer frustration.
