Customer satisfaction had dropped to 73-75% against an 85%+ target. Attrition had climbed above 8%, creating a cycle of instability, rising costs, and inconsistent service quality.
Voice and messaging teams were handling fewer cases per hour than the operation required. The client needed a 10-point CSAT improvement within six months and attrition below 5% by year-end to stop the constant recruiting and retraining cycle dragging the whole operation down.

CX Performance Reset
Amalga reset satisfaction and productivity targets by channel and case type, then introduced real-time quality monitoring and weekly performance calibration. Every coaching session was tied directly to the specific factors driving CSAT scores.
Productivity and Workflow Optimization
Amalga redesigned case routing and channel allocation to reduce handle time without cutting corners on quality. Skill-based staffing and smarter queue prioritization ensured the right agents handled the right cases.
Talent and Retention Strategy
Amalga launched structured onboarding and supervised live-call training for new hires, replacing the previous sink-or-swim approach. Retention-focused coaching, career development paths, and regular engagement checkpoints gave team members a reason to stay.
Data-Driven Governance
Amalga established weekly KPI and business reviews with client stakeholders and built performance dashboards that flagged risk before it became a crisis. Incentives were aligned with quality, productivity, and retention outcomes.
Scale and Sustained Performance
With CSAT back above target and attrition stabilized, Amalga transitioned from turnaround mode to sustained performance management. The team expanded channel coverage, onboarded additional agent cohorts, and locked in the coaching and QA frameworks as permanent operational standards to prevent regression.

Review
"Financial services firms rely on nearshore partners for compliance and risk operations that demand constant coordination with internal teams - where value lies in continuity and shared accountability, not volume or speed alone."
World Financial Review on how financial services organizations are redefining outsourcing - from transactional vendors to embedded, outcome-accountable partners. Amalga's model is cited as representative of this structural shift in nearshore BPO.
