After a long holiday season filled with food and drinks, the most popular resolution is to lose weight, but gyms are not the only industry that will benefit from consumer spending in the new year.

Agent attrition is not a new concept in the contact center. The average lifespan of a contact center agent is traditionally short, resulting in human resource departments trying to understand this costly trend, usually turning to some kind of retroactive metric. But these do not offer predictive insight. These metrics can show why an agent left, but not how the company could have kept them.
