What are the best ways to ensure your team follows communication policies?

I will personally ensure the communication policy is understood by all members of my team, if need be break it down to a clear and concise language. After which, we will constantly monitor and measure conformity through the Key Performance Indicator.

I like to have a mission statement whenever I start with a team. I lay out expectations as well as ask the team members what theirs are. I make sure that my team members have had the appropriate training that makes them qualified for the work they intend on doing. I am clear and prompt in my deliverables to the team and communicate necessary information on standards and expectations. I then turn to the team for their input and strategies on how to achieve these goals and help ensure that I haven’t missed anything in planning and execution. I finally want to thank them and have them understand how important they are.

Definir y comunicar las políticas de comunicación a su equipo es vital. Ya que teniendo un buen conocimiento de las mismas su equipo puede trabajar mejor y disminuir los margenes de errores

Let's keep it simple and honest: Make sure your team knows what's expected when communicating, whether the tone, the do's and don'ts, or even the daily chats. Share the why behind these rules and what happens if they're sidestepped, using everything from quick guides to casual conversations. Keeping everyone in the loop means aligning what we say and how we say it with our core values. Ready to get everyone on the same page and talking the talk? Let's dive in.

Set the example. As Managers we sometimes forget to "walk the walk". Make the directives clear and follow them, then set the expectation for your team. My policy has always been I would not ask my team to do anything I am not willing to do myself.

Monitor and measure your team's performance regularly using key performance indicators (KPIs) and feedback mechanisms. Identify strengths and areas for improvement to optimize productivity and achieve goals.

Communicating progress on performance is key to motivating a team, but try to avoid shaming or creating direct competition between individuals as this can be detrimental to quality.

Celebrate whatever you can! Milestones are equally important! Small or large, recognize your teams progress is surely important for cohesion and forward progress. Many times, we don’t take the time as managers to observe the little things because we are in a crunch or deadlines are looming. We need always understand that progress to us as managers and progress to team members may look like two completely different things. Acknowledge the value that your team members have in their work. Also, try to have an understanding of what “recognition” feels like to each team member too. Someone people don’t care for individual public recognition.

Dar crédito al cumplimiento de las políticas de comunicación por parte del equipo es sumamente importante, pues el reconocimiento a nuestros colaboradores, contribuye en fortalecer el sentido de permanencia de dichos colaboradores.

All employees in every field want to feel valued. I think leadership can go down the slippery slope of concentrating on what is wrong instead of what is right at times. It's important to encourage your team, lift them up, and reward when achievements are met. Call centers are not fun, there is no sugar coating it, it's important as a manager that you counter the aspects of the job that aren't the best with positivity, fun, and acknowledgement.

First of all you are in the professional environment so you have to handle all conflicts that arises and dealth with them professionally. No harsh tone can be used with customers you are dealing with. Think with a cool mind and find ways to resolve issues.

Conflict is not a bad thing. Let me say that again, conflict is not a bad thing. Many people tend to shy away or go another direction for the good of the group or assignment. We need to learn that we can have healthy debate as long as it is constructive, professional and within time allotted for discussion. Learning to embrace the conflict and that it helps generate ideas and solutions will help drive performance for industries for decades to come. No more are the days of the old “my way or the highway”. Finally, if you’re the leader, do not let the debate get out of hand and be prepared to take control if it does or it strays.

When challenges or disagreements arise regarding communication policies, it is critical to tackle them head-on. Listen to your team's concerns about fairness or clarity and be open to their suggestions. Providing support and guidance, especially during tough calls, shows you're there to help navigate through any stress or frustration. It's about creating an environment where everyone feels heard and supported. Ready to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth? Let's work together to address issues and refine our approach, ensuring communication policies work for everyone involved.

Take on the working manager role! I think the best thing you can do for your call center team is to jump into the trenches with them every once in a while. Be there for them when they need you. Our role is to support them, and to make sure both the person on the line, and the staff member are having a healthy line of communication. We're their cheerleader, not their warden.

I've seen many employees with potential holding back on their input and communication because of a break down in communication. As leaders you should be an example in showing open communication. Your team members will be more transparent if you show them that you are interested in their input. Language also plays a big role in the working environment. Speak a universal language that everyone understand, it's easy to exclude members of your team by communicating in a language they do not understand and they will feel left out.

Task a small group of staff to re-write a policy how they might see it as a team building exercise. This allows for a fresh perspective and new ideas, and anything that gets included generates a sense of pride and ownership in them.

Have weekly or monthly meetings and ask if the policy is followed, determine if there is any issues, customer complaints and any one is doing anything their not supposed to. Anything that need management or owner approval is being done. Monitor every day performance and see if they are being followed. Then if you find anyone not doing what the policy requires, coach them and see if it continues.
