  • 1st place, Best Learning & Development Program, which honors companies that integrate learning and development into short and long- term business goals.
  • 1st place, Best Social Media Customer Care Program, which is given to organizations that are creating social customer experiences that meet or exceed the expectations of modern customers.

“Creating positive experiences and building rewarding long-term relationships with our customers are Discover’s top priorities,” said Mark Scarborough, senior vice president of customer service and engagement at Discover. “Receiving independent recognition for our service is something we are very proud of and is a reflection of our dedication and loyalty to employees and customers.”

IQPC provides business executives around the world with tailored practical conferences, large scale events, topical seminars and in-house training programs, keeping them up-to-date with industry trends, technological developments and the regulatory landscape.

“It’s very impressive that Discover won not one – but three – Call Center Week Excellence Awards,” said Lisa Schulman, executive producer of Call Center Week. “This is an incredible accomplishment considering the bar for merit and quality is set higher each year.”

The winners in 12 categories were announced at the 15th Annual Call Center Week Awards, in Las Vegas. Call Center Week Excellence Awards honor the most innovative call center solutions and individuals over the past year.
