How Should You Deal With An Abusive Supervisor?

Working with a verbally abusive boss is something that people often have to deal with.

I'm speaking specifically about a verbally abusive boss and not one who is physically abusive. If I had to deal with a physically abusive boss, I wouldn't be working there anymore and I'd be consulting a lawyer.

If your boss uses abusive language, the first thing I'd try to determine is whether they use it against just you or against others in the office. In other words, is it a problem that only you face or have you witnessed your boss doing it to others as well? Determining this might help you to see if you're in this alone or if there are others experiencing the same treatment.

Indianapolis, Indiana - Most government contact centers understand the importance of monitoring the performance of their customer service specialists and the importance of retaining an experienced workforce that provides world class “customer” service. However, most monitoring programs are focused not on the customer but on process and technology. When quality and supervisory staff actually have the time to monitor the customer service specialist, (regardless of the plan in reality it is perhaps one or twice a month) it is focused on adherence to the technical aspects of the interaction with little or no attention given to the issues that make the biggest impact on the organization’s callers.

How do I calculate my call center's cost per call?

There are different ways to determine your call center's cost per call. The main formula that is currently being used is to divide your total cost by the number of calls that you have attended to for a certain period of time.

The main purpose behind calculating your cost per call is to know if you are getting more or less efficient in the way you are handling your customers.
