BCLC: Business Transformation

Since 1985, BCLC has been helping communities grow. BCLC conducts and manages lottery, casino, bingo and online gambling on behalf of the province of B.C. for the benefit of British Columbians. Thanks to players in B.C., more than $23 billion generated by gambling activities went back into health care, education, and community groups across B.C.

From the head office in Kamloops, B.C., the Customer Support Centre (CSC) is the hub of BCLC’s customer care experience, offering world-class, multichannel support to our players and the public, lottery retail partners, casino service providers, and our internal employees and vendors.

The CSC has a long history of innovation and driving change within BCLC, always looking for new ways to adapt and transform to meet an ever-changing business landscape and meet the increasing demand for our services from our customers in a fiscally responsible way.

In October of 2019 we began a pilot to explore Work from Home, and a hybrid workforce. We knew that we were at a critical mass and our business was very reliant on an in-office approach. Our reasoning behind our pilot was to:

Expand our business continuity capabilities
Meet the needs and wants of our employees to provide them a work and life balance
Grow flexibility within our capacity and scheduling model
Expand technology capabilities as we looked to more cloud-based and AI applications

Little did we know our efforts in being so forward-thinking would reap us such rewards at a team and organizational level.

Project Impact/Business Results

During the pandemic, our interaction volumes increased dramatically by over 83% compared to the same time in the previous year, leading to the hiring and onboarding of a significant number of new employees – all of whom were trained virtually. Despite the influx of new staff (growing our workforce by 38%) and this novel training method, we maintained our excellent results, all while reducing attrition (reduction of 8%) and significantly increasing NPS (up 18% to 25), productivity (up 21%) and employee engagement (up 5% to 88%). In addition, with such a large workforce now working from home, we were able to contribute in a very meaningful way toward BCLC’s environmental goals, saving over 48,100 litres of fuel and reducing 106,000 kg of CO2 emissions.

Under the intense pressure of the pandemic, the CSC capitalized on the opportunity to advance its strategic goals, achieving remarkable results, and permanently transforming the way we operate and serve our customers.
