Employee attrition is a major problem with the BPO sector as of late. There are a number of factors responsible for this. Call center executives lead a stressful life and it is observed all over the world that the problem could be a global one. Stress often leads to burn outs. Call center employees need to be handled with a certain amount of managerial competence to make them work better and increase their productivity. Here are a few reasons why call center employees walk out the door of your firm without intending to return. Job satisfaction, that traditional itch gnawing away at most employees all over the world, applies to call centre executives as well. With an increased work pressure and competitive environment, there is no way a disgruntled employee will last long. This is especially true because many others are ready to nudge him out of the race. If you are not happy with your call center job, theres no point sticking to it. You will always have the pressure to perform and it is always advisable you walk out with dignity than be shown the door. It is never a good idea to wait for the axe to come down on your unsuspecting shoulders. The next cause of business process outsourcing unit attrition is pressure. Employees working full shifts often get very little time to take a break or relax. Working everyday in a tense and competitive environment takes its toll on you. You stare at burnout and feel suffocated. With almost no leaves granted to you and the mounting tasks, you cannot even take a day off during long stretches of work. That is when you snap and ready to move to better work conditions or better shift timings. Add to this the pay factor and the better offers that you may get from rival firms, theres quite a pull on call center executives. Managerial decisions go a long way in controlling the attrition rate of business process outsourcing executives. To make sure that the call center employees remain attached to the BPO firm, certain employee-friendly steps have to be taken. The management must understand that loss of experienced employees is a huge gap in the production function of the firm. Loss of knowledge reserve in the form of the employee, the costs involved in recruiting and training a new employee and the loss of time, all add up to make it worth the effort to try and bring down the attrition to the minimal percentage possible. Ensure call center employees are not risking a burnout. Arrange for measures that allow employees to work in a relaxed atmosphere. Offering incentives isnt always an option. Theres that emotional connect that the employee needs to have with the company. Business relationships based on monetary terms last only till another company offers more money than you possibly can. Protect your employees and make them feel part of the organization. Only when they feel that sense of belonging will they refuse better financial offers and work with you. Apply to their sense of loyalty and you will not be disappointed. Sandra Jones works as a market analyst for a BPO firm in North America.
