WFM Insights Webinar Series

Workforce management software is the backbone of an effective contact center and gives you the power to optimally balance the needs of the customer, the enterprise and the agent. It’s a tall order, but WFM really can ensure a great customer experience, increase agent productivity and at the same time ensure agents are engaged in their work – all at a lower operating cost. But in this rapidly changing environment, it’s difficult to stay abreast of the latest technological advancements and industry best practices to make WFM as effective as it can be.

We’ve brought together an industry analyst, WFM product experts and a customer use-case to provide insights and answer questions in this three session webinar series:

Organizations continue to invest in the quality of their self-service tools and agent-assisted service to ensure that consumers enjoy the best possible customer experience at reasonable cost to the enterprise. Many studies, including some primary research by Aspect, show that a happier and more engaged agent is far more productive as well as being a far better emissary of the organization. It’s time for organizations to apply customer experience tools to the agent experience. In this webinar, you will learn about specific technologies that are known to improve agent job satisfaction. You’ll also hear about some ground-breaking work being done by Asurion that is showing significant positive results in absenteeism and attrition as well as saving on overtime and overstaffing.
