Amazon Connect now provides integrated workflows for managers to coach agents

Amazon Connect now delivers integrated agent coaching workflows that enable contact center managers to provide timely, targeted feedback directly within the Connect UI. When managers identify improvement opportunities through evaluation scorecards, they can immediately create coaching plans with specific customer interaction examples. For example, a manager can share interactions with an agent where they excelled at problem-solving but could show more customer empathy, with examples of empathetic language to use going forward. After coaching sessions, agents acknowledge feedback and add notes to confirm understanding of expectations and next steps. Both managers and agents access all coaching history on a single page, enabling systematic progress tracking and improved coaching effectiveness. This integrated approach eliminates coaching delays and creates accountability throughout the agent development process, accelerating performance improvement across contact center operations. This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more, please visit our documentation and our webpage.
