Agents can now arrange to meet their friends for a coffee. That might seem like a small thing, but it’s had a massive impact on happiness and wellbeing.”
Nationwide have been able to predict and match supply and demand with ease, resulting in the more efficient use of available time.
Team leaders are empowered to manage their own schedules, and agents can self-serve requests for sickness, lateness, shift moves and holiday.
