CCS, Inc. is expanding their call center from 10 to 200 employees and promoting 12 new supervisors. A training needs analysis was conducted for the new supervisors. They will undergo a 3-day onboarding training to learn about the company's vision, mission, culture and programs. The training will cover corporate orientation, completing new hire paperwork, using Microsoft Outlook to schedule meetings and enter employee schedules, and answering participant questions.
An onboarding program is proposed to train new hires at DepoTexas following recent mergers and acquisitions. Currently, only one person provides individual training over the course of a week, which is insufficient for the large number of new employees. A team of four trainers from each department would establish a structured onboarding program including orientation, cross-training between departments, and bi-monthly meetings. Surveys of current employees found dissatisfaction with the lack of training and communication. The proposed program aims to improve training consistency, boost morale, and help new employees better understand DepoTexas' culture.

from the call by pressing the END CALL button.
Break for lunch until 2:00PM
When the participants return from lunch, the next session will be a role playing session. Divide
the group into pairs. Have them switch off being a client and an agent. The agent will be doing
all the steps learned from opening the Customer Service Solutions application to answering the
call and completing a ticket on the call. Walk around the room to ensure that all the participants
have acted out both parts and are comfortable with the agent role. This will prepare them for the
last part of the day which will be the shadowing of an SME on the call center floor. At the end of
this session the participants can take a break until no later than 3:15PM. At this time, they will
need to report to the call center to be paired with an agent for shadowing.
The shadowing session should run until about 5:15PM. When the participants return to the
classroom, conduct a final wrap up and answer any questions they may have. At the close of
this session, provide the participants with your contact information in case they should need it for
follow up in the future.
