The hidden costs of sensory overload in your call centre
- High attrition rates – losing trained agents costs $5000 – $8000 per replacement
- Excessive absenteeism – stress-related sick days draining productivity and budgets
- Burnout epidemic – agents struggling with noise, visual overload and constant pressure
- Hybrid confusion – no data on who thrives at home versus who needs the office
- Recruitment guesswork – hiring the wrong fit for high sensory-environments
Traditional personality tests miss the critical factor: how your agents process sensory information
The science-based solution:
Senses on Call™
Senses on Call™ is the world’s first assessment tool designed specifically for call centre environments. In just 10 minutes, it measures how individuals process sensory information across 7 senses – revealing exactly who will thrive in your high-pressure environment and how to optimise conditions for every agent.
Key differentiators:
Why Senses on Call™ beats traditional assessments
- Personality tests are generic, broad strokes, and not environment-specific
- Senses on Call™ measures how individuals process actual call centre conditions: noise, visual stimulation, movement, and pressure
- Unique features include:
- Best-fit work environment – office versus home recommendations based on sensory needs
- Role allocation guidance – match agents to collections, sales, service, QA, or back office
- Seating and equipment specs – specific recommendations on desk placement, headsets, dividers, proximity to amenities
- Management tips – strategies for team leaders to support each sensory profile
