Rostrvm Solutions will discuss the benefits in a seminar session at
Professional Planning Forum
Woking, UK, December 2008: Call centre managers can review the
challenges and benefits of task blending to optimise call centre
resources in a seminar session at the Professional Planning Forum
next week. Ken Reid of Rostrvm Solutions will draw on twenty years
industry experience to explain how managers can fine-tune the
balance between real-time resource availability and demand across
multiple media and multiple tasks in order to maximise staff
productivity in trying economic times.
The seminar will examine methods of maximising spare capacity by
mixing and matching available agents to communications requirements.
Delegates will benefit from Ken’s extensive industry experience of
optimising call centres using call blending and learn how business
rules can be employed to meet operational targets, service levels
and staff motivation needs, as well as how to use call blending to
handle multi-channel enquiries.
Ken Reid explains, “The modern contact centre still tends to operate
in silos, with the inbound and outbound operations kept segregated.
But it’s inevitable in an economic downturn that workforces will be
trimmed-down and streamlined, so it makes sense to maximise the
skill set of existing staff. By employing a call blending solution,
managers will ensure that there are enough agents to handle calls
when the volume is high, and that productivity levels do not slip
when calls are fewer and further between.
“The importance of call blending is growing all the time; and those
failing to implement it will lose out in the long run. The role of
the contact centre is expanding and becoming more complex all the
time, so to allow agents to handle a range of contact media – phone
calls, email enquiries – will only serve to increase its
effectiveness.”
