Summary • Quality Assurance, Employee Engagement and Incentive • The Missing Link • Using SMART to create a quality assurance measure • Creating Incentive Program based on resources • Discussion and Group Activity
Definition of… • Quality Assurance – a program for the systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of a project, service, or facility to ensure that standards of quality are being met • Employee Engagement – a high level of employee involvement, commitment to the organization and job satisfaction. • Incentive – that which moves or influences the mind, or operates on the passions, to motivate
The Missing Link • Between Quality Assurance and Employee Engagement Evaluation! • Monitoring is essential, but an evaluation is vital • Weekly, monthly, quarterly • Yearly is not enough – too late
S.M.A.R.T Evaluation • Specific: Choose clearly focused goals. • Measureable: Involve quantifiable activities so that progress tracking can be easily determined and expressed. • Attainable: Create realistic goals that push participants towards achieving them. • Related: Incorporate the program so that it lines up with the company’s mission and/or job functions and duties. • Time: Be specific in the time frame of the program.
Employee Incentive Program • An incentive program is used to motivate, promote or encourage specific actions or behavior by a specific group of people during a defined period of time. • Types of Incentive Rewards • monetary, time, items, trips, events, etc… • Examples from our call center • 2 hour lunch, 1 hour late to work, 1 early from work, casual dress
Discussion • Have you implemented a similar program? • What worked? • What didn’t work? • Questions?
Group Activity • Form a group with people from other states • Talk about your call center with one another • Identify measurable expectations • Remember, your call center is different from others around you. This means your goals may be unique to only your call center. • Keep an open mind
