What a boring call centre to be working in - must have been a small one - Sorry just assumed they'd all be set up roughly the same way.
I worked and trained reps and managers in a national call centre that had three sites with queues that would manage the inflow of calls to a service level of 80% of all calls being answered within 20 seconds of the customer dialling the number. Each rep would take atleast 90 calls per day, when I was on the phones I regularly clocked 100-120 a day and everything WAS taped...not randomly - we literally had to 'be able' to pull out every single call that came through plus back it up with electronic and in some cases paper audit trails....people do ask for this stuff regularly too...basically whenever they sense they might be being screwed....and with banks that can feel like all the time.
Re the compliance issue - all banks and financial institions are required to meet the Financial Transactions Reporting Act, which was established to enable the prevention, detention and prosecution of money launderers. So every damn thing had to be recorded, written down and signed in triplicate...worse buerocracy than the Public Service actually !
