Client Overview
The shared services call centre team of the CSIR was identified as a group with challenges in performance ratings, team conduct and accountability. Management wanted intervention to address these issues and to take the team performance and cohesion to the next level.
The Challenge
The team struggled with productivity and performance. Their FCR (first call resolution) was poor and they were getting poor service ratings and feedback from the business.
How we Helped
The Sensory Intelligence® intervention included a
1) needs analysis,
2) one-day workshop on sensory intelligence® for teamwork and productivity,
3) post-workshop implementation discussion with management
4) group coaching circle with the team
The objectives of the intervention were to improve performance levels, team engagement, customer satisfaction and business profits.
The Outcome
- FCR (first call resolution) rating went up from 33% to 74% and further improved to 81 %.
- Each team member was given particular service enhancement initiatives to master across all business sectors. This meant that they had to elevate service levels for a particular function. An improvement of 70-80% was noted.
- Service portfolio growth and positive ownership of service delivery were noted through monitoring and surveillance.
- The call centre team gained more credibility across the shared services group.
- The team had clear goals and knew their contribution to the organisation.
- There was a lot more focus on deliverables, targets and KPI’s.
- Team members took more ownership and a were more accountable.
- Participation in service monitoring improvements and service delivery enhancements occurred daily.
- Self and team awareness increased; a more positive attitude and higher energy levels were prevalent.
- There was better and clearer communication among most of the team members.
“I attended many training initiatives before, but the sensory intelligence workshop was totally different, powerful, yet practical. It is the first of its kind which struck a perfect balance between work and personal matters which are generally problematic to address. I have noticed a significant
shift in behaviour as well as performance KPI’s in my team. I would recommend this to any team needing a boost in performance and behaviour”.

Our Connections
We’ve helped thousands of people and organisations be healthier, happier and more productive
“One of the most commonly overlooked workplace challenges is sensory processing and our sensitivities to the daily onslaught of sensory stimuli. We humans are sensory beings, and are constantly receiving sensory input. In fact, we receive 11 million bits of sensory information every second, of which, only 50% of which we can process consciously. We are all, neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals, processing sensory stimulation differently. But neurodiverse thinkers often can be over or under stimulated by factors in their environment. Elements such as lighting, sound, texture, smells, temperature, air quality or overall sense of security all play a role in how we feel and function in a space. Understanding how we are impacted and how to design spaces to accommodate a diverse population is critical to the creation of successful, welcoming environments. Hence the work that Annemarie and the team at Sensory Intelligence® are doing is so important to helping us on that journey”
