About Course

Introduction :

Workforce management (WFM) is an integrated set of processes that a company uses to optimize the productivity of its employees. WFM involves effectively forecasting labor requirements and creating and managing staff schedules to accomplish a particular task on a day-to-day and hour-to-hour basis.

Importance of workforce management :

WFM systems enable organizations to gain insights into such business metrics as the exact number of employees needed to complete a particular job at a given time of the day, week or month. It also helps track employees’ daily performance.

For example, in a contact center, WFM helps maximize the use of agent labor by forecasting the volume of transactions — calls, messages or emails — and scheduling the correct number of agents with the proper skills at the right time to handle the expected volume of transactions.
