Abstract:
This is a real life case taken from a service industry; it discusses the real life problem faced by a BPO Company. It focusess on the problems faced by the calling agents and the management as a whole, many a times it so happens that the management perceives a problem in a different angle and the solution eludes them; this causes a lot of frustration on the part of employees and management resulting in mass attrition. The real concern today for any call centre company is its high attrition rate; the basic reason being the discord between the management and the employee. The employees look out for a congenial and empathetic management and shift to the other competing companies when offered a good work environment. This case study throws light on one such aspect where a mass attrition was avoided by the top management by strategic and lateral thinking.
