How to reduce the workload of the service center and increase satisfaction

Service centers in insurance companies are under enormous pressure: They are the link between the company and the customer and must overcome a variety of challenges. In particular, the high number of incoming inquiries, whose scope and urgency often fluctuate, is an enormous burden for employees.

The specific challenges in the service center

1. Irregular load peaks

Insurance companies are generally confronted with fluctuations in demand — whether due to seasonal peaks, the introduction of new insurance policies or unforeseen crisis situations. At peak times, there is an intensive workload that employees find difficult to handle.

2. Workload distribution imbalance

The individual communication channels in the service center are usually isolated from one another. While some employees are overloaded due to a high volume of telephone calls, colleagues have to complete fewer tasks when processing emails. This unequal distribution quickly leads to bottlenecks and places an unequal workload on employees.

3. Lack of prioritization and SLA compliance

In many service centers, there is only an inadequate distribution of work. Either the tasks of supervisors are distributed manually, which binds workers and takes up a lot of time. Or employees choose their own tasks using the pull principle. This quickly results in “cherry picking” and unpleasant tasks are left behind for a long time. Due to the lack or slow prioritization of customer concerns, it is not possible to react flexibly to changes and SLAs cannot be met.

How Dynamic Workload increases efficiency and satisfaction in the service center

In light of these challenges, Dynamic Workload offers an intelligent solution that is specifically tailored to the complex requirements of service centers in the insurance industry. It helps to distribute workloads fairly, automate prioritizations and react flexibly to sudden changes in demand.

1. Dynamic adjustment during peak loads

Dynamic Workload takes into account the current workload of employees and adjusts the distribution of requests in real time. Instead of a rigid silo system, requests are dynamically distributed across various communication channels, depending on urgency and workload. This ensures that all resources are used optimally, regardless of how busy the individual channels are. In this way, load peaks can be handled flexibly and without manual redistribution.

2. Fair and transparent workload distribution

With automated workload distribution, Dynamic Workload ensures that no employees are overloaded while others only have low volumes of work. The software solution takes into account both the total volume as well as the qualification and current workload of employees. This results in an even distribution of tasks, which strengthens team cohesion and prevents frustration due to unequal workloads. As a result, congestion and bottlenecks caused by rigid distribution across various communication channels can be resolved.

3. Automated prioritization and SLA-compliant processing

Dynamic Workload allows you to automatically prioritize requests based on urgency. The software solution handles distribution so that employees are automatically assigned their tasks and supervisors do not have to make manual intervention. Tasks that are particularly time-critical to meet SLAs are prioritized and reliably processed on time. Dynamic Workload prioritizes and reprioritizes all tasks in real time and makes adjustments as needed. This speeds up response times and ensures consistent service quality for a high level of customer satisfaction.
