Workforce Management for Back Office
Did you know the average company’s back office has far more employees than its contact center? If you aren’t currently using WFM software in your back office, you have a huge blind spot when it comes to efficiently managing your workforce.
Extending WFM into your back-office operations can enable you to:
- Share resources between the front and back office to more cost effectively meet peaks in demand
- Balance workloads across teams and functions to improve employee utilization and reduce overtime
- Manage work items from beginning to end, identifying ways to streamline processes and speed turnaround times
Watch the Engage22 session, Playbook for Expanding WFM into the Back Office, to learn the differences in WFM in the contact center and back office and best practices for deploying WFM into back-office operations.
