The oldest Millennials are now hitting their late 30s (gulp… really?) They make up more than 30% of the workforce with a cohort that consists of 75 million people. What does that mean for outsourced contact center employers? In our opinion, it means we better be doing a good job setting up an employment experience that meets the average Millennial’s needs, and we better be shaping our industry to support engagement of this demographic for the short term and the long term.

Who else in your life literally jumps up and down when you walk in the door after a long day of work? Dogs provide unconditional love and companionship, so the least we can do is give them a holiday season filled with fun toys and treats. .
