OVERVIEW: ISO 18295:2017 CUSTOMER CONTACT CENTERS
In today’s fast-paced digital world, customer expectations are higher than ever. Contact centers are no longer just service hubs—they are strategic assets that shape customer loyalty, brand reputation, and business success. Nevertheless, without a structured framework, maintaining consistency, efficiency, and quality across multiple channels can be a challenge.
This is where the Contact Center ISO 18295:2017 comes in. As the global standard for Customer Contact Centers (CCCs), ISO 18295 sets a comprehensive framework for service delivery improvement. It ensures that customer interactions are efficient. They are also consistent and aligned with best practices. Regardless of industry, size, or whether a contact center is in-house or outsourced, these standards create a foundation for excellence. They help organizations, employees, and customers alike.
What is the Contact Center ISO 18295 Certification?
Contact Center ISO 18295 is an internationally recognized quality management system specifically designed for contact centers. It sets out best practices for service delivery, complaint handling, employee engagement, performance measurement, and multi-channel interactions. The standard is divided into two key parts:
- Contact Center ISO 18295-1: Requirements for customer contact centers—focusing on improving service quality and customer experience.
- Contact Center ISO 18295-2: Requirements for organizations using customer contact centers—ensuring businesses set clear service expectations.
By benchmarking against these standards, organizations can improve efficiency. They can also build customer trust. Additionally, they can enhance employee satisfaction. Doing so creates a well-rounded and high-performing contact center.
