In episode nine, we explore how Rabobank in Australia and New Zealand embarked on a simplification strategy within its various blended contact centres – creating one source of truth across both calls (Agriculture and Savings) and back-office processes. In this episode, Krystal Oliver, Regional Call Centre manager, Australia and New Zealand at Rabobank, shares the drivers for the simplification strategy, discuss the steps the team went through and how data is used to drive better decision making.   

For over 40 years Rabobank has been serving and supporting the UK's Food and Agribusiness sector with tailored solutions, in-depth market knowledge, and its broad global network. 

Krystal discusses how Rabobank simplified its operations across four call centres spanning New Zealand and Australia, leading to a revised regional model that has driven up SLAs while also giving a progressive career path to staff.
