Reducing the Impact of Technology on Training

3 Ways to Reduce Training Time Using Technology If you really want to reduce training time, we challenge you to look at the technology your agents are using. Is it simple to use? Does it proactively help agents? Does it make their jobs easier?

In higher turnover environments this only exacerbates training challenges and emphasizes the need to make new employees more productive in less time.
