Introduction to Workforce Management:
Supervisor’s Guide to Call Center Staffing and Scheduling

Workforce management is the process of getting the “just right” number of staff in place every hour to maximize service and minimize cost and it’s one of the most important planning and management functions in the call center. In this session, you’ll learn the implications of getting the numbers wrong, as well as the step-by-step process of effectively forecasting calls, calculating staff requirements, creating staff schedules, and tracking daily service and performance.
