Contact centers have been using call recording for years, and consumers have come to accept and expect to hear the words “ this call is being recorded for quality and training purposes” when calling in.

Today’s software engineers are far from stereotypes. At NICE inContact, we take pride in the fact that innovation and technical prowess comes in all genders, ethnicities, religions, etc. In honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day on March 8th, we are showcasing some of the accomplished women in technology at NICE inContact. Meet Meryl Sonon, Senior Engineering Manager in NICE inContact’s R&D organization.

March is globally celebrated as Women’s History Month. But at NICE inContact, we strive to ensure that our customers and employees feel welcomed, heard, and accepted every day. We celebrate individual uniqueness, and believe that having a diverse team makes us stronger and better able to tackle the unique needs and problems of our customers around the world. Throughout the month of March, we are showcasing some of the accomplished women in technology at NICE inContact.

We’ve all heard it a hundred times before – “Happy agents make happy customers.” And it’s become a contact center mantra for good reason – a recent Gartner Survey indicated that 86% of customer experience execs point to Agent Experience (AX) as the single greatest factor impacting CSAT!

In Part One of this two-part series, we explored quality forms, quality plans, and evaluations as basic -but critical – components of an effective quality management program. Using the analogy of quality management being a never-ending roadtrip, we said that creating quality forms and plans was similar to mapping a roadtrip, and that completing evaluations were like actually driving and embarking on the trip.

NICE inContact is a champion for diversity and inclusion in technology, and in honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day on March 8th, we are showcasing some of the accomplished women in technology at NICE inContact. Ask employees in the NICE inContact office in Cochabamba, Bolivia what an effective female technology leader looks like, you’re likely to hear Paola’s name come up time and time again. During her six-plus years at NICE inContact, Paola has made a huge impact not just on our products, but also the people around her- inspiring the team to strive for utmost performance quality both from our software and from themselves.

Every contact center manages quality, but as consumers, it’s easy to tell that some just do it more effectively than others! Quality management is the process an organization uses to measure the effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency of the service provided to customers.
