Learn the science of scheduling and get a handle on the most effective ways to staff for your call center’s short-term, mid-term and long-term service level goals.
Accurate staffing and scheduling is the key to achieving the “right people at the right time” to meet service levels. Through ICMI’s Contact Center Staffing and Scheduling: Building a Long-Term Model virtual classroom course, you’ll get the in-depth information you need to create a staffing model that will increase efficiency and boost employee satisfaction.
This course gives you an in-depth tutorial in determining base staff requirements for service level transactions. We’ll cover every detail of how to use the Erlang C model and computer simulations, including the pros and cons of each type. ICMI’s experts will demonstrate the right ways to calculate staff, as well as the wrong ways, in a manner that will allow you to take what you’ve learned and quickly implement it.
