OFI is comprised of more than 2,600 team members that serve in all 159 counties of Georgia and operate Georgia Gateway to support eligibility determinations.Project Description
Georgia DHS moved to the DHS One Number, which unifies various numbers in the Department on one interactive voice response and unites call centers. Understanding appropriate call routing, prioritization, accessibility, and volume response to optimize call flows and routing is paramount to the Department's responsiveness to customers on vital programs that serve Georgians each day.The Customer Contact Center can receive more than 20,000 calls a day and works to keep abandonment rates low while also keeping the average rate to answer at a minimum. Due to the large and various call volumes, we are looking for a proposal to address effective routing, menu optimization, call center staffing and structure.
Through process improvement and optimization review we are looking to:
- Increase optimization of customer selections
- Reduce the misdirected or misrouted calls to improve customer experience
- Increase accessibility of customer responsiveness
