Key Principles for Reducing Attrition in BPO & Improving Your Business

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Many organizations choose to enlist a global outsourcer for customer support. A new whitepaper from Frost & Sullivan discusses why firms that place cultural compatibility between themselves and their outsourcing partner(s) as a top priority, yield greater long-term success versus those that engage with traditional outsourcers competing exclusively on cost savings.

The recent Frost & Sullivan whitepaper, entitled The Culture Value Chain: Business Impacts Defined, sheds light on how businesses can drive growth and revenue through the establishment of a strong corporate culture.

Strong links between employee engagement and top-line growth have already been established for culture-focused organizations and their internal contact centers. When necessary, businesses should seek to identify the appropriate outsourcing partners, thereby avoiding "Cultural Misalignment" – a constant threat to successful outsourcing relationships.

"In order for the relationship between provider and client to work well over the long-term, both parties need to be in-sync culturally," said Frost & Sullivan Customer Contact Global Program Director Stephen Loynd.  "Premium brands, in particular, want to be able to shape a positive Customer Experience, and a great company culture is at the heart of making that a reality."

This whitepaper addresses the benefits of "Cultural Alignment." Frost & Sullivan explores a six principle framework developed by TELUS International, what TELUS calls the "Culture Value Chain."  It is a framework that explains how a business can improve employee engagement to reduce voluntary agent attrition and create an overall enhanced Customer Experience.

"Low attrition rates and long tenure are associated with higher CSAT and NPS, resulting in top-line growth for clients of outsourcing companies that incentivize employees to stick around and build a career," notes Loynd.
