Shane Oskins, WI Call Center Manager

Since returning to Wisconsin, Shane has focused on reducing call handle time, and has done so by nearly 12%! This accounts for a potential $100,000 in annual savings. His commitment to this initiative has been evident in his engagement and clear motivation. He is an excellent example of a leader, moving around and helping out WI as their call center has matured and grown.

He is always willing to share his thoughts and rationale with teammates.

“Nic doesn’t hesitate to assist the team & always looks for ways to best tackle a situation while keeping protocols in mind. He clearly understands the importance of maintaining network adequacy & improving our relationships with stakeholders.” -Lendy Castillo

Dee has overcome much in her personal life lately, but still brings a positive force to all the in workplace.
