As
the UK's leading online accommodation site offering late
availability deals, LateRooms knows how hard its staff work
and how important it is to reward them with opportunities
for development. With this in mind, LateRooms has put in
place an NVQ programme to allow contact centre staff to
develop their skills, increase their knowledge and increase
morale.
LateRooms chose Intec Business Colleges to deliver the
qualifications and staff working at LateRooms' contact
centre are now taking various levels of NVQs in Customer
Service, Team Leading, Management and Learning and
Development.
"The NVQ programme is going extremely well, with some staff
members completing the work far earlier than expected," said
Craig Mckinnon, Resource Analyst and NVQ Co-ordinator at
LateRooms. "Learner feedback has been very positive and a
recent staff survey showed an increase in motivation levels.
The partnership between LateRooms and Intec is going well,
with staff having built close working relationships with the
assessors who always co-ordinate their visits so there is no
disruption to service levels.
"What is also great is that staff are seeming so much more
confident in their own skills and abilities and since the
programme began around six months ago, many staff have
applied and been successful in gaining more senior roles in
the call centre or roles within other departments."
LateRooms plans to continue with staff training and is
committed to developing its team and offering as many
opportunities to learn and progress as possible. Craig
himself is an example of LateRooms' policy of staff
development - within two years he has progressed from
reservation agent through to Resource Analyst via roles
which include Team Co-ordinator, Team Manager, Duty Manager.
