    To become certified, the contact centers successfully passed a detailed audit of more than 100 practices that encompass their recruiting, training, employee incentives, management roles and responsibilities and quality assurance capabilities.
    As part of its evaluation, J.D. Power conducted a random survey of Associated Bank customers who recently contacted its contact centers in Green Bay, Wis., and Stevens Point, Wis.
