Interview with Norman Schumann

"The pandemic highlights the importance of agile working practices and flexibility while maintaining efficiency."
"Our team is the key to success"

“Working from home is a good way to protect yourself and others from infection.”

"Even before COVID-19, many organizations faced significant IT challenges. Now the pandemic is forcing them to support new ways of working in a very short time."
Mr. Schumann, how did the Corona pandemic affect call center recruitment?
Norman Schumann: In the past, Berlin call centers took advantage of a high unemployment rate. With the current unemployment rate of only around 7 percent and a higher demand for call center agents (m/f/d), recruiting qualified employees has become quite a challenge. Due to the corona pandemic, many qualified professionals from the hospitality industry decided to work in a call center last year. They benefit from the advantages of a more balanced work-life balance and enrich our industry with their years of experience in multilingual customer service.
What impact did the coronavirus pandemic have on the Berlin call center industry?
Norman Schumann: The corona virus has changed the world. Even "afterwards" some things will no longer be the same as before. Changes in daily life and the world of work have proven to be not so impractical. The outbreak of the corona pandemic has forced most companies to react quickly and adapt their operations. In many companies, the classic working day has shifted to the virtual world. Even before COVID-19, many companies were facing significant IT challenges. Now the pandemic has forced them to implement new ways of working in a very short space of time. IT is also under massive pressure. Thanks to their high level of flexibility, customer service providers have been able to successfully support companies in this. The pandemic makes it clear how important agile working methods and flexibility are while maintaining efficiency. A good call center agent can be of great value here.
How does the flexibility that you mentioned represent itself in concrete terms?
Norman Schumann: The Corona pandemic has made working from home the new normal, because the health and safety of employees always comes first. With the home office solution, both employers and employees have gained flexibility. Customer service providers generally welcome the opportunity to work from home in an open-plan office without being distracted by colleagues. Employees no longer need to take up commuting time. Outsourcing service providers can employ customer advisors according to demand without having to worry about expanding their office. Working from home will continue to shape call center work cultures in general in the future, as protection against infections and the health of all employees take priority. Employees will be encouraged to work comfortably from home if they have cold symptoms. Working from home is therefore a good way to protect yourself and others from infection, even when the next wave of flu is on the way. The team spirit is maintained through regular discussions and contact via web meetings.
