Your First Days

30 Days

You become an expert in navigating CBH's systems and tools, can comfortably generate reports in Metabase, Google Sheets, and Zendesk, and provide analysis on a recent SLA slippage. By the end of 30 days, you have produced a plan for managing PTO and developed a forecast that withstands scrutiny, with an accompanying agent schedule.

60 Days

You are onboarding and off boarding agents regularly and without error, providing reports on attendance adherence and PTO, and helping place new agents into the schedule. When response times start to slip, you notice quickly and immediately provide root cause analysis and a recommendation for action.
