Unfortunately, this is unrealistic \u2013 stress is part and parcel of life, and work is no different. We\u2019re going to run through four situations that cause your service desk panic thermometer to heat up: some small, some serious, and some more severe. Let\u2019s find out which solutions help you manage your panic levels and keep your head cool.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Level 1: Letting go of the hand-holders<\/h2>\n<p>Oh, we get by with a little help from our friends\u2026 Or from the HR department. Whenever anyone in the business has a general question, who do they turn to? HR.<\/p>\n<p>This is usually fine \u2013 after all, it\u2019s part of your job to point your colleagues in the right direction, even if their questions sometimes stray away from serious queries and more into the \u201cWhen\u2019s the next national holiday?\u201d category. But when you have remote working en masse (due to the current pandemic, for example), this all changes.<\/p>\n<p>Your inbox and Slack are bombarded by the same questions from different sources. People somehow seem to think of the HR team as the ultimate fixer who can solve any problem under the sun. Not only is responding to every individual request unbelievably time-consuming, but it\u2019s also incredibly tiresome. If only there were a central repository full of everything that employees need to know.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution<\/h3>\n<p>But wait, there is \u2013 provided that you implement a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/webinars\/features\/getting-started-self-service-portal\/\" rel=\" noopener\">self-service portal<\/a>\u00a0filled with FAQs, supporting information, and any other pieces of key knowledge that your colleagues need.<\/p>\n<p>Self-service portals with strong\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/blog\/itsm\/knowledge-management-best-practices\/\" rel=\" noopener\">knowledge management<\/a>\u00a0components drastically reduce resolution times: you can simply redirect serial questioners and carry on with your work. Of course, there may well be the odd question that you need to answer, but that\u2019s far better than having to be the point-person for anything and everything.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t just apply to HR teams \u2013 any supporting department can benefit from implementing a self-service portal. And if the same issue pops up again and again, consider adding the answer to your self-service portal. Employ a solve and evolve approach: making your knowledge management stronger each day.<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1044\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_1-1.png 1337w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_1-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_1-1-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_1-1-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_1-1-374x210.png 374w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1044px) 100vw, 1044px\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Level 2: Waving goodbye (to their responsibilities)<\/h2>\n<p>Colleagues come and colleagues go \u2013 that\u2019s just part of business. But the offboarding process is trickier than it looks. When one of your employees leaves, all you want to do is revisit funny anecdotes, listen to their goodbye speech, and head out for drinks. But when you return on Monday morning, a thought pops into your head: \u201cWait \u2013 did they even return their laptop?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You quickly do the rounds and see if anyone has any information. Kate tells you to ask Dave; Dave tells you to ask Sarah; Sarah tells you to ask Brian; you discover that Brian is not in today.<\/p>\n<p>Great.<\/p>\n<p>So you don\u2019t know where the laptop is, but that isn\u2019t even your biggest problem. Can your ex-employee still access all internal documents? If they can, you need to fix this as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution<\/h3>\n<p>Most organizations have a flawless\u00a0onboarding process. New employees are usually welcomed with a drink and a small goodie bag at the reception. Once they\u2019re settled, their manager or team lead shows them around the office, introducing them to their new colleagues and generally welcoming them to the company.<\/p>\n<p>So why don\u2019t you have a set process in place for when one of your employees leaves?<br \/>\nTreat the employees who leave with as much care and thought as you show your new employees. Make sure that you schedule an exit interview to receive feedback about your organization or your department. On top of that, have a thorough (and highly repeatable) process in place to make sure laptops, keyboards, locker keys, and anything else that the company owns is returned before your employee leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Consider creating a checklist of all the critical action items of your offboarding process. This\u2019ll quickly highlight any gaps in your process so you can sort them out with immediate effect.<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20806\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1045\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_2.png 1337w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_2-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_2-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_2-374x210.png 374w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1045px) 100vw, 1045px\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Level 3: The burst dam<\/h2>\n<p>You have a fantastic service desk system in place. Employees lodge requests via tickets and your team diligently works through these tickets. But one day this all changes. Your team\u2019s peace is broken by the shrill sound of a phone ringing.<\/p>\n<p>You cautiously pick it up before hearing a string of desperate pleas come from the other end. It\u2019s a senior manager, and they need something fixed before an important meeting \u2013 they need it fixed\u00a0right now.<\/p>\n<p>Against your better judgement, you agree to see to the issue right away \u2013 just this once. Unfortunately, life at your service desk is about to be turned upside down. News of your accommodating nature has quickly spread through the organization, and people now think that the only way to get their problem sorted as quickly as possible is to call the service desk. Once the dam has burst, it\u2019s impossible to keep any semblance of order.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution<\/h3>\n<p>How do you maintain peace, order, and your team\u2019s sense of well-being? By not giving in.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/glossary\/what-is-itil\/\" rel=\" noopener\">Incident management processes<\/a>\u00a0are the bedrock of any successful service desk team.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental idea behind incident management is that your team can swiftly work through all incidents in an efficient and effective manner: recording outstanding tasks, classifying them based on their severity and urgency, and then assigning them to the appropriate employee. If done correctly, incident management allows you to provide a continuous and consistently high level of service desk excellence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1048\" height=\"589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_3.png 1337w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_3-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_3-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_3-374x210.png 374w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1048px) 100vw, 1048px\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Level 4: Data breaches<\/h2>\n<p>This is the ultimate nightmare for all companies. With the average global data breach now costing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/securityintelligence.com\/posts\/whats-new-in-the-2019-cost-of-a-data-breach-report\/\" rel=\" noopener\">$3.92 million<\/a>, data breaches are more than just slightly panic-inducing. The costs aren\u2019t just financial either; organizations that suffer from data breaches face a significant loss of reputation and might even end up embroiled in legal battles.<\/p>\n<p>You diligently update your security practices on a regular basis and cybersecurity has been your organization\u2019s top priority over the past couple of years. Somehow, there\u2019s been a breach \u2014 and nobody knows what to do. Your service desk is facing endless calls from desperate employees wondering what they can do, what they can\u2019t do, and what\u2019s going to happen. It\u2019s pandemonium.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s your responsibility to remind employees that they should always let you know if they feel like anything has gone awry. Maybe they accidentally clicked on a dodgy link in an email, perhaps they let somebody from outside the organization use their laptop, or perhaps they lost a USB stick at a bar.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever it is, it\u2019s important to let employees know that they won\u2019t be named and shamed or scolded \u2013 if they think they put the company at risk of a data breach, they need to let you know immediately, without fear of severe repercussions.<\/p>\n<p>Time is of the essence, so it\u2019s critical that you act to prevent data breaches as soon as possible. People often feel silly when they fall victim to phishing scams or the like, so make sure everyone knows that you are genuinely on their side.<\/p>\n<p>Education is an extremely important aspect of this, especially with so many employees currently\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/blog\/itsm\/cybersecurity-risks-remote-working\/\" rel=\" noopener\">working remotely<\/a>. With\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/uk\/news\/90-percent-of-data-breaches-are-caused-by-human-error\" rel=\" noopener\">90% of data breaches<\/a>\u00a0caused by human error, you need to make sure all your colleagues are clued up on cybersecurity best practices. After all, how do you expect them to know they\u2019ve done something wrong if they don\u2019t even understand cybersecurity basics?<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1102\" height=\"619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_4.png 1337w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_4-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_4-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topdesk.mom\/en\/wp-content\/media\/sites\/30\/Blog_inline_Panic_Day_4-374x210.png 374w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1102px) 100vw, 1102px\" \/>\n<h2>Make panic a thing of the past<\/h2>\n<p>Nobody likes feeling panicked.
