    Workforce Management: 7 trends

    I’m often asked to speak to companies on the key trends in workforce management (WFM). As a workforce management geek, I love to do these presentations. It is fun to connect the dots with audiences to show how things that are happening inside and outside of our industry now will impact their people, their systems and, ultimately, their organizations in the next few years.

    Before I get started, let me state that I’m not a smoker and never have been one. So obviously I don’t understand the cravings/compulsion to smoke.

    Workforce Planning: How to determine demand for new positions

    One of the most challenging tasks in workforce planning is trying to determine the demand for new positions or new functions. This is particularly true when they are not only new to the organization, but also to the field or the industry.

    Workforce Efficiency: 3 things agents can do during idle time

    Obviously, when we talk about efficiency in workforce, we’re not striving for the kind of over-scheduling that will leave even the best and brightest agents burned out. We all need a little breathing room in our day. However, excessive agent idle time should be an indication to take a closer look at scheduling and utilization rates. It also raises the question of how that time could be spent in a more productive manner – not that the occasional break isn’t conducive to morale.
