Calabrio launches unified platform to boost contact centre teams
The new platform, part of the Calabrio ONE suite, is designed to address challenges associated with traditional performance management, such as siloed and reactive practices, by providing a single interface for performance data, quality reviews, and coaching.
Calabrio's goal with this release is to reduce agent attrition, increase overall productivity and optimise the outcomes for customers by offering a more cohesive approach to workforce management.
Unified platform
Dave Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer at Calabrio, said the new solution was developed in response to the needs of both agents and managers, aiming to provide a practical and efficient system for improving team performance. "Today's agents and managers don't just need tools – they need an edge. Our Performance Management solution delivers just that. Everything they need, from performance data and coaching to quality reviews, is now in one streamlined, intuitive solution. It supercharges team performance with intelligent workflows, rapid decision-making, and measurable impact. No complexity, no extra systems, just a better way to work."
The unified interface is intended to minimise the number of systems agents and supervisors must navigate, supporting daily tasks through a consolidated set of features and real-time access to metrics.
Agent support and recognition
The Calabrio ONE suite focuses on providing agents (the human type) with visibility, recognition and tools for personal development. According to the company, this approach is meant to foster an environment where agents can both see their progress and access resources for ongoing improvement.
The new Performance Management tools offer organisations the capacity to shift from manual oversight and individual monitoring to more strategic coaching practices. This transition aims to facilitate skills development and reduce turnover, while supporting better service delivery and overall sales performance.
Incorporating AI and automation
A key component of the solution is the use of artificial intelligence to automate quality monitoring, deliver coaching insights, and help identify new trends in customer interactions. Automated scoring and real-time analytics provide supervisors with immediate feedback and allow for more responsive support to agents on the front line.
The platform also includes features for everyday operational management, such as Vacation Planner Pro and Activity Requests, designed to help agents more efficiently manage their schedules. These additions are meant to ease routine tasks and help alleviate agent burnout, a reported issue within the sector.
Calabrio states that the integration of learning and development tools is central to the platform, promoting a culture that values ongoing training and feedback rather than focusing solely on periodic reviews.
Supporting measurable outcomes
The company believes this new approach to performance management will allow contact centres to both improve customer service and operational efficiency in a measurable way. By having data, coaching, and quality assessments within a single system, organisations are expected to benefit from enhanced insight into team and individual performance.
The full breadth of the solution is available as part of Calabrio ONE's workforce performance suite, which is aimed at bringing workforce optimisation, agent engagement, and business intelligence tools under one cloud-native framework.

Zelensky, European leaders to speak to Trump ahead of Putin summit
BRUSSELS/LONDON/KYIV: Europe and Ukraine's leaders will speak to US President Donald Trump at a virtual meeting on Wednesday ahead of his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin, as they try to drive home the perils of selling out Kyiv's interests in pursuit of a ceasefire. Trump hosts Putin, a pariah in the West since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, at talks in Alaska on Friday that the US president has said will serve as a 'feel-out' meeting in his efforts to end the Russo-Ukraine war. Trump agreed last week to the first US-Russia summit since 2021, abruptly shifting course after weeks of voicing frustration with Putin for resisting the US peace imitative. Trump said his envoy had made 'great progress' at talks in Moscow. The US president says both Kyiv and Moscow will have to cede land to end the war. Russian troops have already occupied almost a fifth of Ukraine. The unpredictability of how the summit will play out has fueled European fears that the US and Russian leaders could take far-reaching decisions and even seek to coerce Ukraine into an unfavorable deal. 'We are focusing now to ensure that it does not happen — engaging with US partners and staying coordinated and united on the European side. Still a lot of time until Friday,' said one senior official from eastern Europe. Trump's administration tempered expectations on Tuesday for major progress toward a ceasefire, calling his meeting with Putin in Alaska a 'listening exercise.' The video conference among Trump, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of Germany, Finland, France, Britain, Italy, Poland and the European Union is expected to take place at 1200 GMT (1400 CET), a German government spokesperson said. NATO's secretary general will also attend the conference hosted by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Ukraine hopes the meeting will serve — at least partially — as a European counterweight to the summit in Alaska. European leaders, who are wary of provoking Trump's ire, have repeatedly emphasized that they welcome his peace efforts, while underlining that there should be no deal about Ukraine without Ukraine's participation. Half a dozen senior European officials told Reuters that they see a risk of a deal being struck that is unfavorable for Europe and Ukraine's security. They said European unity would be vital if that happened. A source familiar with internal US deliberations said it could not be ruled out that Trump would seek a deal directly with Putin without involving Ukraine or Europe. But the source voiced doubt about that, saying it could cause problems with Kyiv and the EU. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday the summit will be a 'listening exercise' for Trump to hear what it will take to get to a deal. After the call, Trump and Vice President JD Vance were expected to speak to European leaders at a separate online meeting at 1300 GMT (1500 CET), the German spokesperson said. That will be followed at 1430 GMT by an online meeting of the 'coalition of the willing,' a group of countries working on plans to support Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. MOUNTING BATTLEFIELD PRESSURE A Gallup poll released last week found that 69 percent of Ukrainians favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible. But polls also show Ukrainians do not want peace at any cost if that means crushing concessions. Ahead of the calls, Zelensky said it would be impossible for Kyiv to agree to a deal that would require it to withdraw its troops from the eastern Donbas region, a large swathe of which is already occupied by Russia. That, he told reporters on Tuesday, would deprive Ukraine of a vast defensive network in the region, easing the way for Russia to mount a new push deeper into Ukraine in the future. Territorial issues, he added, could only be discussed once a ceasefire has been put in place and Ukraine has received security guarantees. Moscow's troops have recently ramped up pressure on the battlefield, tightening their stranglehold on the cities of Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka in eastern Ukraine.

South Africa denounces ‘deeply flawed' US human rights report
South Africa has condemned what it called a 'deeply flawed' US report on its human rights record, issued just days after the Trump administration imposed 30 percent tariffs on many of the country's exports. In its annual human rights report released Tuesday, the US State Department accused South Africa of taking 'a substantially worrying step toward land expropriation of Afrikaners and further abuses against racial minorities.' Pretoria's foreign ministry expressed 'profound disappointment' over the findings, saying the report was 'an inaccurate and deeply flawed account' that failed to reflect the reality of its constitutional democracy. A law signed this year by President Cyril Ramaphosa — and criticized by Trump — allows land expropriation without compensation in rare cases. Land ownership remains a contentious issue, with most farmland still owned by white South Africans three decades after the end of apartheid. South Africa, Washington's third-largest trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa, is seeking a deal to preserve tens of thousands of jobs in its agricultural, automotive, and textile sectors that depend heavily on the US market.

Typhoon Podul intensifies as it nears Taiwan
Thousands of people took shelter and fishermen secured their boats in southern Taiwan on Wednesday as Typhoon Podul intensified on its approach to the island. The storm is packing sustained winds of 155 kilometers (96 miles) per hour at its center and is 'strengthening,' Central Weather Administration (CWA) forecaster Lin Ting-yi told AFP. Podul is expected to make landfall in sparsely populated Taitung County around noon (0400 GMT) before crossing the island and entering the Taiwan Strait. More than 5,500 people have been evacuated, and mountainous areas of Kaohsiung City, Pingtung County, Hualien, and Taitung could see torrential rain, the CWA said. The storm's gusts have reached 191 kilometers per hour, stronger than October's Typhoon Krathon. Domestic flights and dozens of international journeys have been canceled, ferry services suspended, and schools and businesses across the south shut down. Over 31,500 soldiers are on standby to assist with preparations and relief efforts. The CWA expects Kaohsiung and Pingtung to receive 400–600 millimeters (16–24 inches) of rain from Tuesday to Thursday. Taiwan, which is prone to tropical storms from July to October, has already endured severe weather this summer, including Typhoon Danas in early July and torrential rains late last month. Scientists say climate change is driving more intense storms and increasing the risk of destructive flooding.
