Listen "Solving Emotional Labor and Agent Burnout with Deepak Selvaratnam - S1EP7"
Episode Synopsis
We often chase automation without a map, resulting in disjointed customer service and agent exhaustion. What if we adopted a scientific framework to measure, improve, and harmonize over 800 operational factors? This is the essential shift needed to move from chaotic processes to cohesive, customer-centric service.Joining us on The Kiwi CX Collective is Deepak Severtham, an international specialist in CX Strategy and Digital Transformation. Deepak defined industry standards as the architect of Snapshotz (used by 4,000 global centers) and RemotAbility. He operates from the conviction that frontline well-being must be prioritized to genuinely achieve customer transformation.We analyze the major industry shifts and tackle crucial questions facing modern CX leadership:CX Mastery: Requires a scientific structure assessing all 12 Functional Building Blocks, incorporating new essential competencies. Flawed AI: Causes emotional labor and becomes an intrusive disruption, undermining agent well-being without input. Data Strategy: Essential because 'data' is the fuel for AI; mandatory to qualify and utilize the new 'data lakes.'Leadership: Leaders must shift from 'order takers' to proactive strategists, aligning cross-functional teams behind a single mission. Leadership Gift: Enabling leaders to visualize the 'full dance floor' of all interconnected variables for cohesive organizational communication. This episode is essential listening for CX strategists, business leaders, and those responsible for talent development, offering clear guidance on achieving service maturity that is both scientific and deeply humane.Guest: Deepak Selvaratnam, Global Customer Service Strategist (Creator of Snapshotz)Connect with Deepak: LinkedIn: Deepak Selvaratnam Website: SnapshotzKeywords: CX, Customer Experience, Contact Centres, Deepak Selvaratnam, Snapshotz, Remote Ability, AI, Automation, Data Strategy, Mental Health, Emotional Labour, 12 Building Blocks, CCNNZ, Leadership, Digital Transformation.Connect with CCNNZ: Website | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook Connect with Elias Kanaris: Email | LinkedIn
