Workforce Management Software Streamlines Call Center Staffing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 23, 2010 -- Workforce management software gives call centers powerful tools to manage their most important assets: their agents. Since staffing can be one of the most complex challenges of managing a call center effectively, a comprehensive workforce management software solution is needed to:
• Strike the delicate balance with staffing and service levels
• Improve productivity and efficiency
• Cut costs while providing excellent customer service

Workforce Management Software: Forecasting and Scheduling:

Workforce management software allows you to quickly and easily reduce the headaches caused by forecasting. It enables you to analyze agent work and call history data from ACD systems and calculate accurate forecasts for agent requirements, average handle time, future call volume, and other factors.

Run these forecasts with the workforce management software for any interval of the day based on the call center’s service level goals. Then use the forecasts to precisely determine how many agents you need for each interval based on the predicted call volume.

Accurate forecasts enable you to:
• Establish trends so you can be proactive and make better decisions
• Create optimized schedules for every agent to decrease downtime and improve productivity

• Balance agent requirements, costs, service levels, and proper planning to streamline both your day-to-day and long-term staffing needs

Workforce Management Software: Turbo-Charge Your Call Center:
Workforce management software can transform your call center into a profit center. Some of the benefits include:
• Eliminating the inefficient, manual workforce management approach that costs time and money. Workforce management software dramatically improves the center’s performance by automating the entire tedious process of employee scheduling and forecasting call volumes.
• Improving productivity by ensuring the right staff with the right skill levels are always in the right place.

• Reducing the time it takes for supervisors to review agents’ scheduling exceptions. Workforce management software gives supervisors more time to focus on more important things like monitoring performance and training agents.
• Using historical data to minimize agents’ conflicting schedules, make informed staffing decisions, and improve agent morale.
• Easily managing staff across multiple locations—whether 100 miles away or on the other side of the world. Automated workforce management software reduces the amount of time spent trying to manually determine which agent skill sets are the best fit for a client, regardless of the time zone.

• Increasing customer service levels, improving performance, streamlining time-consuming administrative tasks, and reducing costs in all areas of the call center.
