Verint Systems, Inc. named VSP Vision Care its 2010 “Innovator of the Year.” The honor, designed to recognize workforce optimization (WFO) professionals, focuses on new approaches to today’s customer service operations, and programs and initiatives that advance the customer experience.
VSP utilizes Verint’s Impact 360 Workforce Optimization software as an enabling solution to help foster a performance culture grounded in four key areas: systems, service, value and people. “Delivering world class service to our members and doctor network are vital to VSP’s success and core to our culture,” said Laura Costa, Chief Operating Officer, VSP Vision Care. ”With workforce optimization and speech/data analytics, we’re able to think about our business in new ways. Beyond savings, this approach is yielding impressive results through increased customer satisfaction, deeper insight into customer service representative efficiency and productivity, and enhanced coaching, training and performance.”
With this new software, VSP has improved its contact center handle times, customer service representative (CSR) availability and shift scheduling—efficiencies that have resulted in roughly $3 million in savings in year one alone.
