Ah yes. Zendesk. The name itself has some “Zen” to it. Zendesk lets a company maintain peaceful business operations — whether it’d be during workplace IT support or during customer service, one has to just create a Zendesk ticket and voila! Their issue would be solved in a jiffy. But what if I told you can make this process even more faster using Workativ Assistant? Yes you can. Want to know how?
If you’re a CIO or an IT Admin, or a help desk agent for the matter, you might know how much of a time-consuming task it is for an employee to report an IT issue like getting locked out of their desktop/laptop, or not being able to apply for leave on your HRM system.
Ah, yes. “I’m working from home today.” Just thinking about saying this (before all the COVID drama started) makes one genuinely happy. While everyone’s at the office, you get to enjoy a day or two taking work-from-home — relaxing a bit, sipping a cup of coffee, as you work at your own pace, without anyone looking over your shoulder, listening to some music on your TV or smart speaker. But now, what you used to enjoy occasionally, has become your daily routine.

A pandemic is identified as a rapidly spreading infectious disease that poses a global threat. The result? Decelerated economic growth and social chaos. The COVID-19 outbreak is taking the world by storm. On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization declared it as a pandemic due to more than 20,000 confirmed cases back then. The count has only surged now!
Your account is locked. Please use the link to reset your password. It happens one day or the other. Every IT professional has experienced it sometimes. An employee tries to access her corporate e-mail account or business portal. She must present a report in a meeting starting in a few minutes. But her account is locked. She enters and reenters the password several times, tries all the numbers, combinations, and special characters, but still, the account is inaccessible.
A report by Forrester Research concluded that about 20% of all support tickets are related to passwords and unlocking an account. Another study concluded that the cost of a help desk call today averages around 30 Euro, which, undeniably is, quite high in terms of customer serviceability cost. Combining these two studies, it is not difficult to estimate the expenditure IT service desks would bear just to solve tickets related to account unlocking issues.
