Call center staffing is at the heart of achieving service level objectives. Adding just one additional agent to your group can positively effect customer wait times by leaps and bounds. However, overstaffing can lead to boredom and wasted resources.

This seminar will help you:

  • Recognize the calculations and judgments behind determining staff requirements across all channels
  • Understand the necessity of calculating staffing requirements by the half-hour, not by day or week
  • Determine whether Erlang C, computer simulation or a combination of the two is right for your environment
  • Staff for email and other response time activities
  • Develop long-term staffing models to assist in planning and budgeting

Perfect to help supervisors and new managers understand the science of staffing, this seminar will lay a firm foundation for effective call center staffing.
