A 2001 CallCenterCareer.com survey found that recognition for a job well done motivates call center employees almost as much as an increase in pay. Managers should consider fun ways to recognize top employees, such as a day at a spa or a gaming console, for the best performer on a certain day. The company should also consider a reward for the employee that shows the most improvement. The hiring manager should also look for good fits for a call center job. For instance, students offer call centers a cheap and plentiful source of labor, but the ideal candidate likely wants to use a call center job to start a career in sales.
