70% of consumers believe empathy is vital in a customer service interaction and yet 39% feel their emotional state is not well understood by brands in those interactions.

Government employees are driven to support, enable, and help citizens access the services they need, and to set the example by employing a fully diverse workforce. But this can be challenging given the scale and complexity involved in supporting millions of citizens with widely differing circumstances, needs, and accessibility requirements. For citizens trying to navigate through processes that are often complex, and may have significant impact on their wellbeing and lives or those of loved ones, there may be many times in a given process when they seek help. But without visibility of where they are in that process, contact center staff can struggle to assist – leading to frustration. And citizens will often have to engage in multiple processes and supply the same information from different ‘departments’ again and again, taking up their time, reducing the number of calls that can be answered, and creating stress for both citizens and government staff.

BT and Genesys are helping government organisations to deliver empathy in the contact centre.
