Implement Workforce Management
A good call center workforce management solution should support your business to ensure a consistent customer experience, and it should meet your service level agreements (SLAs). This is about examining information and streamlining contact center operations from three perspectives.
-
Estimate your Staffing Needs
Your historical data can help you predict agent workload. Is there a specific time of year (or day) when calls spike or dip? Identifying trends helps. If there are upcoming marketing campaigns, you might need to staff up your call center to keep up with customer service requests.
-
Real-time Response to Issues
With outages, product recalls, severe weather, or press coverage, the ability to quickly resolve these issues is crucial. Contact centers with a workforce management tool like Elevéo can help you readily adjust and address unexpected increases in customer activity.
-
Schedule According to Customer Demand
Call center schedules are determined by customers. Almost all of them expect to be able to contact customer service at any hour of the day. That’s why having the right number of qualified agents in place is key. With our workforce management software platform, your team can track real-time data to better understand if incoming customer requests exceed agent capacity.
Benefits of Workforce Management with Eleveo
Elevéo's workforce management software offers a significant improvement over outdated spreadsheet processes. Today's contact centers are challenged to do more with less, while improving results. To do so, they are searching for innovative ways to get the most out of their agents. By strengthening schedule optimization, engaging agents, streamlining agent workflows, and standardizing reporting, Elevéo's workforce management aligns the call center around these goals.
-
Customers Get the Fast Service They Expect
No matter who answers the phone, customers expect good service. When they have to wait, it creates a poor customer experience. That’s why it’s vital to keep the right staffing levels at peak times. Quickly resolving an issue and having real-time support available 24/7 contributes to positive and impactful customer experiences.
-
Make Your Employees Happier
Employees are usually happier when they aren't overworked,stressed or bored by inactivity. Elevéo's workforce management solutions can help. By mixing experienced agents with more junior workers, and by correctly managing their workload, they will feel more supported. Lower attrition rates contribute to lower hiring and training costs because employee productivity increases.
-
