SQM’s primary purpose is to help organizations improve their contact center customer and employee experience performance - one individual at a time. On May 24, 2018, SQM Group Inc. recognized award-winning contact centers and front-line employee performances for over 50+ different award categories at the 19th Annual Customer Experience (CX) Awards Gala including Contact Center of the Year, CSR and Supervisor of the Year, World Class Certification, and Customer Experience Best Practices. This year was a special year for us at SQM, as Global News covered the awards gala and joined us in celebrating the best in the business for contact centers. Thank you to Global News for featuring our prestigious event this year!

Some of the award winners showcased this year included VSP Vision Care, who was a fourth-time winner of the highly coveted Contact Center of the Year award. This award is based on having the highest combined customer experience and employee experience ratings. In addition, Canadian Tire Financial Services (CRCC) and Jackson won the finalist awards for Contact Center of the Year.

SQM’s awards and certification programs are the most credible and rewarding recognition programs in the contact center industry as they are based on customers' experiences using contact centers and/or employees working in contact centers. On an annual basis, SQM conducts over 1.5 million surveys with customers who have used a contact center and over 25,000 surveys with employees who work in contact centers. Receiving these awards and certificates in front of over 400 contact center peers is extremely gratifying.

For 2018, the 3-day event was held at the world-class Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa in Vernon, BC, Canada providing the perfect intimate learning environment. Year-over-year, SQM receives world-class ratings from attendees, and this event continues to receive an unprecedented number of registrations from all over North America.

For 2019, we invite you to join us in celebrating SQM’s 20th Annual CX Conference and Industry Awards being held at the Historic Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Washington from May 7 - 9, 2019.
