Are you able to understand why the surge in call volume is happening in the first place? This will help you identify next steps. For example, has there been a new marketing campaign that launched for your Spanish speaking community? Ensuring enough staffing of Spanish speakers and IVR option for Spanish will help route those calls efficiently. Are the calls related to signing up for a new program? Staffing up at these key times as well as creating prioritizations in your IVR can help direct an automated process vs speaking to a live agent.
