Multi-channelling strategies Stockholm, Sweden 6-7 April 2011 Programme Version 21/03/2011_EN
Introduction In the 2009 Region Europe activities meeting Multi-channelling was ranked on top of the list of most wanted future workshop topic. Arbetsförmedlingen and WAPES in cooperation with the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy invite you to take part in this event in Stockholm and share experiences and good practices with colleagues from other Public Employment Services. Multi-channel management is the design, deployment, coordination, monitoring and improvement of the many channels through which public organizations, as e.g. Public Employment Services, and their customers interact with each other. Nowadays PES communicate not only through telephone and face-to-face meetings but also by using other channels such as the PES website, customer services through telephone, email and chat, and social media. The aim of this workshop is to improve our understanding of multi-channel strategies and channel coordination and how it can be used to increase customer satisfaction, service quality and efficiency. For those of you who want to share your best practices but don t have a speakers slot in the programme there will be a display area in the meeting venue. This sharing opportunity will be available during coffee and lunch breaks. For the first time a WAPES event will be available online, both broadcast on web-tv in realtime and on demand. From 9h00-12h00 on day 1 and from 9h30-13h30 on day 2 you will be able to follow the workshop through internet (marked web in the programme). You will also be able to watch it on demand at your convenience. See the document Practicalities attached to the email invitation for more information. Target Group: The workshop is useful for those who are responsible for or work with questions concerning services to jobseekers and employers and how these services should be delivered. Please note that the workshop mainly will focus on the conceptual understanding of multichannelling in service delivery and less on the technologies that make multi-channelling possible. Preparatory work The participants will share their experiences on Multi-channelling during the event and especially in the workshop on day 1. Please see the questions in the programme to help you prepare for your contribution in the workshop. Working languages: English and French Moderators: Ms. Anna-Lena Larsson Lönnqvist, Arbetsförmedlingen Ms. Linda Daugaard, WAPES
