Agent Training and Coaching
Training initiatives should help agents acquire and retain value-based knowledge. At the same time, agents should be able to review existing content within training and reference materials while on a call or other type of interaction. Whether using classroom training or one-on-one coaching on a regular basis, more and more companies are turning to computer-based training to supplement active coaching and training sessions, as well as to reinforce practices and maintain continuous learning in the contact center. Computer-based training can demonstrate tasks and simulate everyday tools and provides an effective way to deliver new information, refresh basic skills or target-train agents on specific skills identified through quality monitoring. eLearning can also be used to assess agent competencies and track progress. Qfiniti Expert delivers targeted training directly to the agent's desktop for a consistent and cost-effective learning experience.

Administrators can publish, review and track courses in the Qfiniti desktop while agents review courses in the same desktop with their evaluations, greatly simplifying the job of assigning agent training. Online training courses can immediately be assigned to agents as managers evaluate recorded customer interactions to assess performance. This ensures a timely and targeted delivery of training content. Training can further be strengthened with quizzes or reviews, and by pushing specialized training to top performers. Qfiniti Expert's integrated reporting gives supervisors and training administrators the visibility needed to track progress and agent retention.
