HR Contact Centre Advisor - Americas (French)

Context/Scope:
Workday is the new global HRMS and is due to go live for the Americas region in June 2013, the increased functionality of the Workday system for Line Managers and Employees will result in some changes in the types of activities the HR Contact Centre team undertakes.
The Contact Centre is the first contact point to all employees, line managers, HR colleagues and external customers (i.e., former employees etc.). The focus is on the quality of response and the ability to close calls to the customers’ satisfaction. Integral to this is a superior customer service offering enabled by trained and skilled Contact Centre employees and a query resolution system that ensures requests are logged and if not resolved immediately are escalated to appropriate individuals or teams. This case management ensures the query is properly documented and resolved effectively. As the first point of contact, there will be a broad and varied range of queries that are handled. Working hours are between 2 pm - 11 pm.


Purpose of Role:
As the first contact point the contact centre specialist has a direct impact on how HR Contact Centre's customers perceive their experience. The person in this role will be dedicated to customer service and resolving queries with a high degree of quality and accuracy. They receive enquiries using the technology and documentation provided and are the link between employees/customers and the Service Centre. Contact centre employees will escalate cases or enquiries where appropriate to other specialist teams and thus must have a clear understanding of how their role impacts the rest of the Shared Service Centre and the overall reputation of the HR function.
