Aventus Adapts with Full Remote Work Staff During the Pandemic
In the summer of 2019 Aventus rolled out a case study on remote agents versus a call center which has agents sitting in close physical proximity. Aventus’ CEO, Josh Royal, pushed for this initiative to allow Aventus to be fully prepared to adapt during a disaster like a hurricane or, fittingly now, the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing where and how we work—right now, and possibly for months to come. This turn around for remote staff is going to push BPOs into a new way of thinking about their ability to deploy a remote workforce and maintain business continuity. Aventus’ diversification has granted a number of positive impacts and is paving the way for other BPOs.
During the case study it was found that the full remote work staff had a decrease in ABSENTEEISM and ATTRITION RATES. This served our clients goals to:
Keep Employees Safe
Agents working remote will reduce the risk of spreading germs. It will also eliminate employees’ commutes and costs for public transportation, gas, and vehicle expenses.
Move Fast to Support Customers
To continue serving customers in a dynamic environment, remote agents allow for elastic scalability. Implementation of support staff, Slack channels for different departments to communicate, video coaching sessions, and proprietary digital training software that has allowed us to seamlessly tie the remote operations in sync with our in-office operations.
