Whole-life cost model
Article Abstract:
Experienced gained during the development of Prudential Banking's call centre in Dudley, England, proved valuable for the development team responsible for Egg's communications centre in Derby, England. It was clear that staff retention rates are boosted by offering high quality facilities and that a single large floorplate is best for new call centres. Flexible training and support rooms can be a major asset in a call centre. A model retail banking call centre is smaller than the Egg building, reflecting the trend for smaller centres.
