Employee Satisfaction and The Customer Experience
At DATAMARK, we’ve spent more than 30 years supporting the success of Fortune 500 Companies, government agencies, and multiple companies across several industries. You can expect our expertise in optimizing the customer interaction process, back-office processes and developing high-quality interpretation agents. Thanks to a rigorous hiring and training system, our agents are well-versed in more than 22 languages, various technologies, and much more.
Most importantly, our agents are happy! The average tenure of our agents is well over two years, which exceeds the industry standard. We are proud to have retained the best agents in the industry, and we make this possible through our commitment to keeping job satisfaction high by creating a delightful experience for our teams. Let’s go over exactly how we do that below.
Why Happy Agents?
Happy agents result in exceptional performance for your business and your customers. In contrast, unsatisfied agents can create a revolving door environment that impacts operational costs, productivity, employee morale, and, more importantly, the customer experience. DATAMARK maintains high employee retention by deploying company-wide initiatives prioritizing job satisfaction for our interpreters.
