Contact Center Capacity Planning
The Northridge Group – A Leading Management Consulting Firm
Workforce Management
Helping centers strike a balance
Contact Center managers continuously face the difficult challenges of balancing too much vs. too little capacity and anticipating the budget implications that will result from their forecasting decisions. While capacity planning is difficult, it is essential for meeting current and future business needs. We can help!
Our capacity planning models can convert forecasts for volume, Average Handle Time (AHT), and shrinkage into the required number of full-time equivalents (FTE’s) needed to handle a Contact Center’s workload, allowing managers to predict staffing excesses and deficits.
Managers can proactively plan to ensure the right number of people are available at all times by using existing Workforce Management functions— such as short-term forecasting, scheduling, and real-time management in conjunction with a well-grounded capacity planning model. The resources and continual cadence that a workforce management department invests in building out this process will pay off in upcoming years.
Creating best-in-class Workforce Management capacity plans
Although there are many challenges to consider, staffing for success can best be accomplished with a capacity planning model that allows for proactive and accurate forecasting of staffing needs. We approach this by examining every angle, every scenario to ensure the best possible outcome for your operation.
