Conversational AI and Employee Experience – The Dynamic Duo for Hybrid Work

Call volume to service desks has risen 35% due to the pandemic. This has resulted in high operating costs with reduced employee productivity and satisfaction. It has also opened up the market to rapidly embrace and understand the need for conversational AI. According to Gartner, 70% of white-collar workers will interact with conversational platforms by 2022. Gartner also found that 76% of calls can be resolved in a single contact – and the resolution of a majority of those can be automated. Automation delivers a quick ROI with positive revenue impact, reduced operating costs, and improved risk posture.

“A distraction-ridden, ineffective technology stack can overwhelm and stifle employee productivity and well-being. This strategic partnership with Ivanti arms our mutual customers and partners with a best of breed conversational AI virtual agent solution needed to effectively address today’s evolving workforce,” said Pat Calhoun, CEO and founder of Espressive. “In a hybrid work world, employee self-help via an AI-based conversational platform is now a top requirement to resolve these challenges. Espressive is committed to deliver immediate AI-based employee self-help across the enterprise, and we’re thrilled to accomplish this with Ivanti.”
