From people suffering from dementia, learning disabilities, as well as physical disabilities such deafness and blindness, contact centres need to be able to provide great customer service, with care and dignity. The same techniques can also apply to non-native speakers.

In this webinar we looked at the best ways to give consistent service to vulnerable people.

• Winning tip – “Make time in team meetings/huddles/briefings to discuss difficult calls and share how you cope/practice self-care at work. We often have very difficult conversations about sensitive topics and having that time and space bi-weekly to discuss it openly and honestly helps our team to feel bonded and better handle those difficult conversations with people in vulnerable situation” thanks to Mary10.
