    Gerenciar equipes com diferentes níveis de experiência em atendimento ao cliente exige liderança empática e estratégias eficazes. É fundamental criar um ambiente de comunicação aberta, incentivar a troca de conhecimento entre os colaboradores, alinhar a equipe a objetivos comuns e mediar conflitos com empatia. Essa diversidade, quando bem trabalhada, pode se transformar em um diferencial competitivo.

    - Communication, setting clear expectations, and fostering mutual respect. - Sstablishing open dialogue where everyone feels heard is a start. - Encouraging mentorship could help bridge the experience gap, - Allowing senior members to share knowledge without it feeling like a burden, and junior members to learn without feeling inferior -Role clarity. If everyone knows their responsibilities, it might reduce friction. - Creating a collaborative environment where different viewpoints are valued could turn conflicts into constructive discussions. - Conflict resolution techniques like active listening and mediation might be necessary when issues arise. - Training on emotional intelligence and teamwork could preempt some of these conflicts

    No primeiro momento é necessário preparar a todos, certificar-se que tenham os conhecimentos básicos das demandas e responsabilidades, do tipo de atendimento que precisam fazer e como contornar quando algo sair dos trilhos. É necessário que os mais experientes acompanhem os mais novos no início, apoiando e orientado os procedimentos adequados. Também conversas com o time levando clareza das responsabilidades, orientações da organização, objetivos e metas da empresa, para que possam tomar iniciativa com embasamento e defesa correta para as demandas do dia-a-dia. Conhecer minimamente o cliente também ajuda para escolher a melhor abordagem, cada cliente é único no seu atendimento, precisa ser tratado com respeito e atenção.

    Para lidar com uma equipe com níveis variados de experiência em atendimento ao cliente, eu adoto as seguintes estratégias: Visão comum, estabelecendo uma meta clara de satisfação do cliente para unir a equipe, focando no objetivo coletivo. Treinamento cruzado, incentivando a troca de conhecimentos, onde os mais experientes ensinam e os novatos trazem novas ideias. Feedback construtivo, criando um ambiente aberto, com feedbacks regulares, visando crescimento e resolução rápida de problemas. Celebrar conquistas reconhecendo tanto o sucesso da equipe quanto o individual, valorizando todos. Essas abordagens garantem um ambiente colaborativo e ajudam a resolver conflitos com eficácia.

    Na minha experiência, a comunicação e escuta ativa nas necessidades do cliente. Quando existe niveis de experiência na equipa, o lider deve focar na criação de relacionamentos entre os pares, fomentar a colaboração entre os novos e os experientes. Claro que a atitude de todos e crucial para o sucesso, mas tambem o alinhamento de perspectivas. Assegurar aos novos que não saber é uma oportunidade de aprender e não competir, as orientações basicas devem ser claras, mas criar o espaço para ensinar que dizer que não sabemos ao cliente não é errado, mentir sim é errado, trocar isso com "voltarei a si com a resposta ou a pessoa certa irá entrar em contacto consigo". Penso que isto vai ajudar.
