C3 2017 Speaker Spotlight: Q&A with Jaslyne Halter, Contact Centre Analyst II at Erie Insurance

(C3) is just around the corner! Check out our latest in the 2017 Speaker Spotlight series.

Jaslyne Halter, contact centre analyst II at Erie Insurance, will be discussing how to transition from a part time contact centre into a fully functioning, 24/7 contact centre with Calabrio Workforce Management (WFM) at the centre of the change. C3 takes place October 1‑4 at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas.

Name: Jaslyne Halter

Company: Erie Insurance

Title: Contact Centre Analyst II

Years of Experience: 2 years

Q: What are you most looking forward to for C3 2017 and why?

Jaslyne: I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with Calabrio users and speaking with other Calabrio customers to learn how I can better leverage Calabrio WFM. With that said, I might be more excited to meet and speak with the potential Calabrio customers. It’s so easy for a company to give their pitch for why their product is the best investment for an organisation to make, but when you can talk to real customers, it makes all the difference.

Q: What are you passionate about?

Jaslyne: I think my biggest passion inside the contact centre is identifying the trends and patterns in the centre—whether it’s call distribution or staffing patterns—and doing whatever I can to ensure that the customers get their “Above all in sERvIcE” experience. That’s our motto here at Erie Insurance.

Also, I take pride in making sure that employees feel like they are getting taken care of. There must be a balance between customer and employee experience, and when an employee makes a point to reach out and tell me that they appreciate me, it makes me happy to know that I’m doing my job well!

Outside of the office, I spend most of my time working on my master’s coursework. I’m counting down the days until I’m done! I also enjoy volunteering and making wine. I try to assist with at least one Habitat for Humanity build each summer, and when winter rolls in, I do a lot at the local overflow shelters. I love knowing that I am really making a difference to someone. Outside of volunteering, I live in the heart of the Lake Erie Wine Trail, so I enjoy wine tastings and making my own wines. Riesling and cabernet are my staples.

Q: Why should people attend your session? What will they learn?

Jaslyne:  When implementing any WFM system, there are going to be bumps in the road to get it fully operational. My experience is coming from a centre that is still working to get over the hurdle of transitioning from an after-hours, part-time centre, to a full-time, 24/7 centre. Attendees will learn what we are currently working on in that centre, and perhaps it will give them some ideas. The learning will be interactive between myself, Raymon, the Calabrio experts, and the audience. I’m confident that I will be leaving C3 with a list of ideas to make my own work environment a better one!
