Conduct risk management for regulated contact centres

The problem in a risk leader’s words

Policies define the standard, but conversations decide the outcome. You can point to a control library, yet frontline behaviours vary by site and vendor. Breach reviews rely on notes and memories. Evidence is scattered. You need a single system that links conduct controls to the behaviours that prove them in action, with owners, timestamps and an audit-ready trail. You also want leaders to coach better conduct conversations, not just record incidents.

One integrated system: controls → behaviours → evidence

Conduct risk improves when people know what good looks and sounds like, practise it, and record it in one place.

Translate controls into micro behaviours:
GRIST maps your conduct controls to observable micro behaviours for each conversation type, so leaders and QA know exactly what to look and listen for.

Embed an operating rhythm:
Weekly check-ins, targeted coaching and simple goals keep conduct actions moving. The rhythm is visible to leaders, QA and risk.

Enable with YakTrak:
The platform turns your method into daily practice.

• Prompts and workflows guide leaders to assign actions, set goals and verify behaviour.
• YakTrak-powered AI lifts goal quality, summarises coaching notes and surfaces patterns in conduct themes.
• Records and evidence are captured automatically with timestamps, owners and status for audit and assurance.

Closed loop conduct remediation

Close the loop from detection to validated resolution with clear ownership and proof.

1) Detect: Use QA results, call reviews or speech analytics to flag conduct risks.

If you use Amazon Connect Contact Lens, link detection directly into YakTrak to create actions and coaching items.

Learn more about our Amazon Connect Contact Lens integration.

2) Assign: Auto-create an owner and due date. Tag the micro behaviour to practise and the control it supports.

3) Coach: Leaders run short ACDC coaching: Agenda, Current state, Desired state, Commitment. YakTrak stores notes, goals and commitments with timestamps.

4) Prove: Agents attach call references or evidence. Leaders confirm behaviour in a sample set. QA validates resolution where required.

5) Report: Dashboards show open items, time to closure, repeat issues and where coaching is working. Export a complete audit trail by agent, team and site for visibility, transparency and accountability.

What makes YakTrak different

We are the missing link between technology and real behavioural change for conduct risk.

1) System of application: Micro behaviours and operating rhythms are embedded, tracked and improved in one platform.

2) Detection to resolution:
From first flag to verified fix, YakTrak guides owners and leaders with prompts and proof of action so nothing is lost.

3) Leader-first enablement: Practical prompts, goal quality checks and conversation guides build leader capability to hold better conduct conversations.

4) Line of sight to outcomes: Behavioural data connects to retention and compliance, and supports links to AHT, FCR and NPS where relevant call types are in scope.

5) Enterprise-ready for regulated industries: Trust Centre, ISO-aligned controls, privacy, audit trails, SSO and APIs support scale and governance.

6) One method, one team: GRIST consulting and the YakTrak platform operate as a single system, so you do not need to stitch together vendors.

Outcomes that matter to risk and QA

Compliance:

Fewer repeat conduct issues, shorter time to validated resolution and complete audit trails across teams and vendors

Retention:

Clear standards and constructive coaching improve confidence and fairness perceptions, which supports lower attrition.

Operational performance:

Better conduct behaviours often lift customer outcomes and reduce rework in relevant call types.

Assurance:

Exportable evidence packs link each action to a control, behaviour and outcome for internal and external reviews.

Proof in practice

A major Australian contact centre connected its conduct controls to micro behaviours in YakTrak.

• Leaders coached to ACDC with clear goals and evidence requests.
• Cycle time from detection to validated resolution fell.
• Repeat issues reduced in targeted call types, with clearer ownership.

Enterprise readiness

Risk teams need confidence in scale and security. YakTrak is built for enterprise environments.

Security and privacy:
ISO-aligned controls, SSO, role-based access and privacy by design.

Audit and export:

Records with timestamps for actions and coaching, plus APIs and exports for assurance reviews.

Data governance:
Data residency options and retention settings aligned to your policy.

Integration-friendly:
Connect QA tools, speech analytics, LMS, data warehouses and BI using standard APIs.

Why this works for conduct risk

Policy tells people the rule. Micro behaviours show what to do in the moment. Operating rhythms make it stick. The platform makes every step visible, measurable and auditable. Together this creates faster, smarter pathways from detection to verified resolution.

What you will see in a demo

• Mapping your conduct controls to micro behaviours
• Creating an end-to-end remediation workflow from a real case
• Running an ACDC coaching conversation and setting a high-quality goal
• Capturing evidence and closing the loop with an audit-ready trail
• Reporting on time to closure, repeat issues and behaviour-to-metric links
