Call Center Agent On Shift: Handling Irate Customer Calls
We’ve talked about getting a call center career, now it’s time to talk about keeping and succeeding in that job. As a call center agent, you are to expect a volume of calls to come in (or make if you are servicing an outbound account) in just one shift. The reality is that this can be very tiresome and stressful, especially if a call comes from an upset and frustrated customer. Handling difficult customers is a reality of the job. Its our job to handle it with grace and finesse. A call center agent that can take their personal feelings out of the situation and react empathetically, will both perform more effectively and will end the day with less stress.

Minimizing Stress at Work is my Kung-Fu
Stress is a feeling of anxiety and pressure. This kind of feeling is experienced by most of us and is a natural part of our lives, especially at work. Studies conducted by The American Institute of Stress show that our job is one of the highest causes of stress. Employees experiencing stress in their jobs are one of the common reasons of attrition or poor performance. There are many factors that contribute to stress. Common examples are; deadlines, workloads, new tasks, new boss, new team, etc. According to Wikipedia.Org, "often a stressor can lead the body to have a physiological reaction which can strain a person physically as well as mentally. A variety of factors contribute to workplace stress such as negative workload, isolation, extensive hours worked, toxic work environments, lack of autonomy, difficult relationships among coworkers and management, management bullying, harassment and lack of opportunities or motivation to advancement in one’s skill level."

Love, belongingness, and appreciation are only a few things that people also desire which for me personally are just as important as money is.
