What onboarding includes
A program can combine product and policy education, system training, observation, practice, and support from a supervisor. The order depends on the team's work and the complexity of its customer issues.
New agents need opportunities to use the information, not only read it. A representative conversation can reveal where more explanation or coaching would help.
Use practice alongside people
Begin with a focused scenario after the agent has enough context. Review the interaction, agree on an improvement, and offer another attempt before adding complexity.
Shadowing and supervisor judgment remain important. A passing practice score is one signal among several when deciding what support a new agent needs.
