“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

To attract top talent, you need to think like top talent.

Call center leaders are under ever-increasing pressure to attract and retain top talent, yet a relatively simple solution is available.

It comes down to recognizing that the same old limited approach to sourcing talent, then expecting your new hires to come to your bricks and mortar just doesn’t work that well.

Consider that we’re in an era of baby boomers retiring in droves, with millions of people seeking options for remote work and/or less than full-time work. Couple this with a booming economy driving historic low unemployment and clearly it’s time to let old ways die.

That’s why we at Liveops are looking at what top talent wants. We’ve applied a little research and analysis to pull together an infographic that illustrates data and characteristics that help define the modern workforce.
