THE BEST IN THE WORLD IN 2022 NAMED AT GLOBAL AWARDS GALA

Raj Wadhwani

Dec 2022 and the best in the world are crowned in Malta, the tiny little island nation known for its endurance, fortitude and resilience! All the award entrants went above and beyond the call of duty to out perform what we saw earlier this year as they jostled for that top spot – to be named World Champion 2022!

Over 4 action packed days presentation after presentation after presentation was made in front of industry experts at the 17th annual NEXT GENERATION Contact Center & CX Best Practices event. Computers and tablets at the ready, judges at the event and remotely around the world rated each presentation based on the quality of ideas presented to help rank the entrants into their respective positions . Of course first place got the Gold and what a magnificent event it was.

Everyone had a blast at the luxurious Westin Dragonara as they were thrown idea after idea, best practice after best practice and in between, networking enabled everyone to not just make contacts but true friends and enlarge the ContactCenterWorld family.

Side activities such as bowling and tours of the fantastic island were also included for those who wanted to chill, unwind and enjoy the company of their new found friends, or to re kindle relationships that were stalled during the 2 years of Covid when the event was run online!

Awards were presented to individuals, teams and companies. Raj Wadhwani, President of ContactCenterWorld added "I have been in this space for over 32 years now. It’s my passion and when I get to meet and hear from these amazing people as they share their best practices, many of which others would say are secrets, I reflect on the fact that this is still a people industry and people make it. Its about passion of the people and not just a company award that really matters and that’s why we always recognize people first. This was an amazing year overall and I was delighted that so many took the time to travel from the other side of the world to meet up and be part of this great event. Its about inspiration and this comes across so much."

Awards were presented starting with people and team awards then the Dream Team awards – we will tell you more about that later this week and we concluded with the company awards. We threw in a surprise as well to those who consistently excel at the world class level and announced the first recipients of the Certified World Class Accreditation which takes 3 years to earn! Details in a separate release!

This is the 17th edition of the truly remarkably and ground breaking awards program and as we enter the 18th year Raj Wadhwani added "We have found year after year that the best are just getting better and better. In a year when many of us have experienced often dreadful service from companies, the organizations represented at this event in Malta were the notable exceptions - they have passionate people delivering truly word class services to internal and external customers. It’s like the best are just getting further and further ahead and this award program proves it without a doubt!"

Wadhwani concluded "As the most prestigious and challenging awards in the Contact Center World, we help elevate the best of the best to compete against others around the World. In fact these are so prestigious they can affect the perception of a nation in the eyes of the industry! It’s not about which country has the most centers, but which are the best and you will be surprised to learn that nations like the US, UK, Ireland, even the Philippines have an overall poor global rating! The awards showcases the differences around the world very clearly!"
