“Over the past year, tightly integrated workforce engagement capabilities have been a core focus for our contact center solutions and broader suite and will continue to be in the years ahead.”
“We consider being recognized in three distinct Gartner Magic Quadrants a testament to the product innovation and customer value we’re delivering across our business,” said Kim Niederman, CEO of Lifesize. “Over the past year, tightly integrated workforce engagement capabilities have been a core focus for our contact center solutions and broader suite and will continue to be in the years ahead.”
According to the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Workforce Engagement Management report, “Gartner recommends that WEM solutions be considered strategically within customer service organizations, as they not only help improve operational performance but also increase employees’ well-being. Key market and societal shifts require a repositioning of how organizations manage employees and ensure engagement within their contact centers. Organizations need to assess the potential needs, expectations and aspirations of the next generation of employees within their contact centers…The impact that motivated and engaged employees can have — not just on operational performance, but also on the customer experience — should not be underestimated and should help justify future investment in WEM solutions.”
