How Workforce Management Drives Employee & Customer Success

How Workforce Management Drives Employee & Customer Success

Imagine an ideal scenario where a customer engages with a contact center. The agent cheerfully answers the phone and quickly has all the customer’s information on their screen. The agent is able to answer the customer’s questions in a timely manner with confidence and competence. The issue is resolved, and the interaction only takes a matter of minutes. A courteous follow-up email is sent even though the customer is happy and satisfied.

Sounds simple, but for this interaction to take place a number of steps had to be put in place first:

  • Appropriate staffing and scheduling to ensure timely agent availability.
  • The agent must be trained and knowledgeable.
  • The correct tools must be at the agent’s disposal exactly when needed.
  • The agent must be content and happy, which will reflect onto the customer.

However, with the rise in complexity of inbound requests, channels, and technology platforms agents must become familiar with, it is becoming harder for agents to deliver an excellent customer experience. There are more tools and technologies than ever before; what was once intended to simplify an agent’s workload is increasingly complicating it.?

“The problem is two-fold. As societies advance technologically, so do the products and services they consume. Generally, more complex products require more complex support in order to be maintained. This burden of increased complexity often falls on our front-line customer service agents.”

- Aaron Glover?ibex, SVP of Workforce Management

So how do we embrace technology while at the same time overcoming complexity? The answer is to have a clear plan for supporting agents and contact centers well before your first customer contacts start rolling in.
