With an average age of 23, a majority of call center agents are part of Gen Y's demographic - individuals born between 1980 and 2000 - and their significant presence in the call center is challenging some long-held practices.

Donna Fluss, founder of DMG Consulting, and Knowlagent CEO, Matt McConnell, will cover various topics that explore what makes a Gen Y agent tick, including how to:

• Capitalize on the strengths of the Gen Y agent
• Channel positive, constructive and timely feedback to improve overall call center performance
• Adopt workforce management tactics to achieve center goals
• Utilize the latest technologies for improving operational efficiencies

"Research shows that Gen Y agents prefer to multitask, want consistent and frequent feedback on their performance and want to be able to set their own work schedules," said Matt McConnell, president and CEO for Knowlagent. "Understanding how these agents work is invaluable to contact center managers. For example, because Gen Y agents are generally technology savvy and like to be kept busy, managers can use technology to better work with these agents and boost overall productivity."

This webcast is part of Knowlagent's Productivity Plus campaign consisting of webinars, executive roundtables and a blog at http://knowlagentblog.com. Knowlagent partnered with call center industry experts to share knowledge based on their experiences and what they have observed in hundreds of call center environments around the globe in each of these outlets.
