When an emergency call comes in, lives are on the line. Your telecommunicators have to get it right every time. But with turnover at an all-time high, and tenure at an all-time low, keeping telecommunicators engaged, well-coached, trained, confident and happy, so they can perform their best, is more challenging than ever.
