User Groups
The SWCCF User Groups add value and return on investment for membership – the groups are designed to engage with all departments within members' centres - those that support the contact centre
Held throughout the year the SWCCF User Groups are free of charge to attend. Members can maximise on this opportunity by sending as many of their team as they require. These sessions are often used as personal development for those attending.
The SWCCF User Groups offer a unique opportunity for key personnel to meet like-minded professionals from other centres within the South West Region. Each group has a Chair, of which group members can liaise throughout the year. Sessions are driven by the group needs, taking the format of round table open debates, attended by key industry influencers, and above all offering all who attend the opportunity to grow in experience of topic and connections.
Team Leader Group
The team leader meetings are a fantastic place to share experiences, challenges and ideas with a talented peer group. We aim to provide value in each session that can be taken away and built into your own working practises. As a team leader my passion for the job comes from helping members of my team develop and achieve, I have the same focus for the leadership group.
