Agent Happiness Correlates with Employee Happiness

HappySignals helps me show the appreciation and value of the work Service Desk agents are doing.

Challenges overcome with HappySignals

HappySignals is a dependable source of experience data

 

The challenges that were identified before using HappySignals and overcome with the help of the platform were:

  • Region Midtjylland wanted to get SDI accreditation and become a leading service desk in customer satisfaction.
  • Before HappySignals, it was harder to identify the improvement projects that would have a clear positive impact on the end users. 
  • Without easily understood experience data, it was much more challenging to have a shared view across all of IT of how good IT was at providing services to the end-users.
