Hays drives greater employee productivity with Next Generation Service Desk
Driving greater employee productivity with Next Generation Service Desk
Revenue generation at Hays is dependent on the productivity of its sales consultants. With the majority of IT support still telephone-based, Hays wanted to provide employees with a broader choice of engagement channels.

NGSD has streamlined the support experience for our staff, freeing them up to focus on their day job. It has opened up new engagement channels, providing staff with not only greater choice but also better outcomes.
Simon Gerhardt, IT Production Services Director at Hays
