As customers expect more and more out of support experiences, support leaders can risk burnout on their team to meet the escalating demand. In a recent study with over 600 support leaders, we found that smaller support teams (fewer than 100 agents) are less likely than larger teams (more than 100 agents) to say they can continue meeting accelerating customer expectations.

As such, in order to succeed you can't just incentives and reward the successful projects.
