Women's History Month

Welcome back to “Top Headlines In CX News This Week” here at CCW Digital where we’ll be handpicking and highlighting the most interesting news stories in customer contact and business just for your learning pleasure.

We're marching on towards the end of Q1 in the CX world, and as many organizations reflect on the wins, missess and areas for development in the months ahead, there's a lot to think about and re-assess. If gaining a deeper understanding how the women in your organization experience your work culture and contribute to that bottom line isn't on that last of to-dos, Women's History Month iss the reminder you need to get on that. 

But, to be fair, every month is a good month to get on it. So, consider this week's news round-up a courtesy reminder. Happy Women's History Month, let's get into it—

‘How Do I Network And Build My Community?’ Women of CCW Share Their Personal Struggles, Successes and Insights

Professional and personal development in the customer contact space are essential to not just carving out your own personal CX niche, but to creating a knowledge network. For many of us here at CMP who work on in-person event and online interactive webinars, that person-to-person connection is what drives our efforts.

In reality, our CCW community is what makes these efforts necessary as means of centralizing data and relationship building. With that in mind, women within our customer contact sphere are sharing what it means to them to have those personal and professional building blocks in an industry that's still working towards gender parity.
