Giving Angels wings in their new communication roles
When Virgin Media took the bold step of appointing 15 of its call centre staff to new roles as full-time communication champions – or Angels – it needed them to be effective from day one. Axiom worked with the in-house training team to design and deliver an intensive and inspirational induction week that equipped the Angels to succeed.
The five-day event covered an array of communication skills from building relationships with stakeholders to making presentations, writing engaging content, and running meetings and events. Just as important, delegates had the chance to examine their individual goals, identify their strengths as communicators and team players and work on their areas for improvement.
The week culminated in delegates creating an innovative, high-energy video in which they set out what they would deliver as individuals and as a team.
The Angels came away from their induction with the knowledge and skills they needed to be effective communicators – as well as the confidence and motivation to make a big impact in the business.
What our client says
“We knew we had appointed some talented people, but we couldn’t have predicted just how much they would develop as individuals and as a team during the induction week. They benefited greatly from Axiom’s deep knowledge and responded well to the lively, engaging style. Every one of the 15 Angels scored the induction week five out of five on their feedback form and the good vibes have continued long after the event. I’m now more confident than ever that the Angels will deliver in their new roles.”
