Research suggests that "no call, no show" occurrences often peak on Mondays and Fridays, coinciding with the start and end of the workweek.
In a call center, "No Call, No Show" (NCNS) refers to an employee scheduled to work but does not report for their shift or provide advance notice to their employer or supervisor about their absence.Â
This failure to attend work without notification is considered an unexcused absence and can result in disciplinary actions or employment termination, depending on company policies.Â
NCNS can disrupt call center operations, lead to understaffing, and impact customer service quality.
Not showing up for work without a heads-up can lead to a few rough spots in call centers:
To reduce "no call, no show" instances in a call center:
Establish and communicate clear attendance policies to all employees, emphasizing the importance of notifying supervisors before absences.
Offer flexible scheduling options or shift swaps to accommodate employees' personal needs and minimize scheduling conflicts.
Encourage open communication with employees to address concerns and understand the reasons behind absenteeism, allowing for proactive problem-solving.
