    • Quality Advisor
      • Jan 2021 - Jun 2021

      While working in COVID response, myself and 2 other supervisors were asked to curate a shared role of Quality Advisor within the Atlantis Contact center.Between the three of us we work towards targets to help agents improve in call quality to secure bookings for the New Zealand Blood Service and Molemap. With a focus on compassion, resilience, empathy and objection handling, we live coach and hold regular 1:1 evaluations with team members as well as running research-based workshops.

    • COVID Welfare Supervisor
      • Aug 2020 - Jun 2021

      I was brought on as a COVID19 advisor during the 2nd outbreak in Auckland, August 2020. Our role was to connect with close contacts daily for 14 days to ensure they were healthy, compliant, financially looked after and free of stress and anxiety. The programme is run by Whakarongorau Aotearoa, the national telehealth service.I was offered a supervisor role prior to starting and after a very rapid onboarding process, including learning several new online programmes, I was given a team of 9 agents to mentor and coach as they made their way through their daily health check calls.The role requires a delicate balance of qualitative and quantitative approaches. As we have to meet Ministry Of Health and National Contact Tracing Service guidelines with call safety, and ensure that service users are receiving the best service they can, I have been meticulously reviewing calls and turning that into regular coaching sessions for my agents to improve call rapport and effectiveness . As the team was onboarded at the same time as me, I have also been able to offer technical support and, when needed, emotional support following difficult experiences while irritated people take out their frustrations on my agents.This role continues to shift and develop, with the latest changes including creating an entire training outline for our new generation of supervisors. The purpose of our team is to maintain our skills to be ready for any COVID outbreak in New Zealand in an effort to contain the virus and avoid future lockdowns.During the February Auckland outbreak I assisted in onboarding and training 45 new advisors in a high pressure environment. Many required 1:1 training and guidance to ensure they were resilient enough to complete calls to a high standard and to reduce attrition

      I worked for nearly a year at Blacklock Soho, in the heart of London's iconic West End. Blacklock has established itself as a London institution, serving the best Beef, Lamb and Pork in the country in a fun atmosphere with high-end service and cheap but delicious cocktails. As reservations manager I ensured that the customer experience was exceptional from the first phone call or email, and I implemented email and phone standards to be used for any situation. While working on the door as Maitre D', I was encouraged to use my enthusiastic and friendly nature to welcome each guest with open arms and always find a result that worked for them; it gave me immense joy to make sure 'everyone leaves happy'. Using my experience as a restaurant manager and Events co-ordinator, I helped our amazing team to maintain standards and go above and beyond with every guest. Our books were always busy, partly due to the fact Blacklock has a 3 month waitlist for their famous Sunday Roast and that they are a walk-in restaurant in the evenings. I was heartbroken to have to leave Blacklock in March 2020 due to COVID, but the lessons I take from the business and the team stay with me in my personal and professional life.
