Intraday Management
• Get a good outlook at the day ahead- Identify times that
may have overages / insufficiencies
- Review forecast volumes and staffing distribution

• Ask agents at the start of day if they are interested in staying later or leaving earlier
• By establishing a list of go-to agents in case your forecast does not hold up you are not left scrambling to cover
Staffing Adjustments

• In periods of unexpected low volume, add trainings/meetings on the fly
• Do mass event adds to schedules

• Achieve greater accuracy and efficiency
• Re-forecast every ½ to 1 hour• Be aware of how calls are
trending• Sometimes forecasts are created
weeks or months earlier• Ensure you are using latest data
to plan strategically and not just being reactive
Intraday Forecasting

• Take note of real-time data: Watch out for over/under staffing changes
- Track staffing by skills- Monitor intervals or rolled-up daily periods- Track deviations by percentage or labor hours

Intraday Management
• Auto-pilot guidance- Alerts guide you with 4-to-6 hour
projections- Free up time to focus on future planning

best response
Skills Matching

• Monitor activity via threshold notifications- Call volume forecast vs. actual- Staffing levels: Lunch, breaks,
meetings, PTO / call-offs- Service levels- Call queue levels
Use Threshold Notifications

• Don't pay too close attention to all "decimal points". - This ties in with knowing
your data, but goes a step further.
- Just because your AHT is a few seconds over goal or service level is not spot-on target does not mean your plan or model for the day is wrong.
Don’t Overanalyze Data
![Page 11: Uptivity Webinar: Intraday Management Best Practices](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b5540b4a7959cc508b456b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Just because you can measure it, does that mean you should?
• Know your data and how it impacts customers: Manage to that!
• Metrics are important, but being drowned in data makes you slow to react: Service level, ASA, FCR, Abandon rate, AHT, ACW
• Real-time reporting puts actionable information at hand: How you use it is equally important!
Using Data Appropriately

• Proactive intraday workforce management is easier than you think
• Remember: The contact center environment is very fluid- Anticipate fluctuations- Be ready for change and adapt
as needed
Be Proactive
