“Employee absenteeism, turnover, and engagement due to isolation and lack of support or connection are top challenges that every distributed customer contact organization must overcome to succeed,” said Greg Salvato, CEO of TouchPoint One. “Acuity provides the customer contact workforce with a complete and shared understanding of what success looks like and how it is measured, and a comprehensive feature set that facilitates the cooperation, camaraderie, and collaboration essential for individuals and teams to organize and thrive. TouchPoint One is excited to roll out the latest Acuity software build and further elevate the wellbeing and effectiveness of our clients’ workforces.”

Acuity equips supervisors, managers, and compliance personnel with new and enhanced tools to optimize processes and agent support. The new release boosts engagement, agility, and productivity for work-from-home, office, and hybrid teams. The key enhancements in this update include:

Agent Coaching Enhancements. Supervisors design, manage and execute comprehensive agent support routines using Acuity’s data-driven coaching system, Sidekick.

  • New Sidekick journal workflows, including Performance Review, Side-by-Side, Policy, Learning Compliance, Recognition, LOA, and others. In addition, support events triggered via Acuity Compliance and Quality Monitoring systems now integrate seamlessly with Sidekick to improve workforce efficiency, engagement, and productivity.

Expanded Gamification Options. Versatility is essential to gamification success. TouchPoint One, therefore, offers three core gamification platforms and custom solutions to meet customers varying needs. The primary enhancements included in the latest software release include:

  • A-GAME Flex Catchphrase – enables supervisors to blend word puzzle contests into their overall agent coaching and support strategies. Individual, group, or team games setup of any duration takes just minutes. Captivating graphics, automated prompts and updates, and flexible reward options heighten game awareness, engagement, and impact.
  • Custom Metric Scoring – facilitates game scoring on literally any imaginable metric across all TouchPoint One gamification platforms.
  • A-GAME Xtreme – A-GAME Xtreme delivers the fantasy sports-style experience directly to managers and executives. The fall software release offers an improved Xtreme experience featuring enhanced team filtering, rank zone roster distribution, manual or auto-pick draft options, and other updates that engage senior management and create productive bonds with frontline agents.
