Call centre salaries rise
A survey carried out by the Hay Group, due out next week, is expected to reveal that managers of the UK’s larger call centres with staff of 500 or more, have seen their salaries rise by more than 20 per cent during the last year.
The survey, ‘Managing People in Call Centres 2001’, is also likely to show that average salaries have risen, compared to a Bank of England figure of 4.5 per cent for average earnings growth.
Reasons for the hike include competition amongst call centres to retain talented managers and team leaders.
The competition for high quality staff is also reflected in remuneration levels for skilled call handlers. The survey is also expected to reveal how organisations are taking steps to reduce stress during the working day, typically allowing workers several breaks of around 15 minutes. (GB)
