Your contact center\u2019s most valuable resource is its people. A resilient contact center begins with resilient agents. And resilient agents depend on effective contact center Workforce Optimization.<\/p>\n<p>The role of the contact center agent is changing. As simple and repetitive tasks are increasingly delegated to chatbots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistants, human agents handle more and more challenging interactions, with fewer and fewer lower-intensity periods. Naturally, this leads to burnout. Contact center Workforce Optimization involves giving your agents the tools they need to succeed and to succeed <strong>consistently<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we discuss methods for creating <strong>resilient agent experience<\/strong>.

If your contact center can\u2019t cultivate resilient agents, agent attrition will only continue to rise.<\/p>\n<p>But what is causing this increase in agent attrition?<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rt-bullet-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/brain-ai\/conversational-ai-self-service\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>The rise of AI and chatbots<\/strong><\/a> has <strong>automated simple and repetitive inquiries<\/strong>. Human agents are focused only on the most challenging; meaning more heavy emotional labor. Resilient agents must receive regular training on handling these difficult interactions.<\/li>\n<li>In the omni-channel contact center, agents increasingly respond to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/resources\/whitepapers\/keeping-up-with-the-kpis\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>asynchronous contacts<\/strong><\/a>. Multiple contacts made via email, SMS, or web chat can be <strong>answered at the same time<\/strong>.

Periods of economic uncertainty increase the likelihood of service disruption, which prompts customers to reach out. Agents are under <strong>increasing pressure to answer more contacts, faster.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The agent of the twenty-first century is under pressure from multiple directions. Cultivating agent resilience required contact center Workforce Optimization.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Center Workforce Optimization Creates Agent Resilience<\/h2>\n<p>Agents don\u2019t become resilient overnight. Cultivating agent resilience takes time and active support. A full suite of Contact center Workforce Optimization tools provides everything you need to guide your agents through the toughest customer interactions.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rt-bullet-list\">\n<li>Intelligent scheduling frees up time for supervisors, letting them dedicate more time toward monitoring and supporting agents, but <strong>scheduling alone does not make a resilient agent<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Your contact center needs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/storm-cx\/workforce-engagement-management\/quality-management\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>intelligent Quality Management<\/strong><\/a><strong> (QM<\/strong>) tools and monitoring tools. Intelligent transcription allows supervisors to track interactions in real time \u2013 Automatic notifications can be tied to certain keywords or levels of sentiment, making supervisors aware of interactions of concern. From here, supervisors can offer real-time advice, take over an interaction from an agent, and allow that agent to take a short break to recuperate.<\/li>\n<li>To understand agent performance, you need an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/storm-cx\/journey-orchestration\/real-time-and-historical-analytics\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>in-depth reporting suite<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Agent performance statistics can be displayed within the contact center workforce management solution, giving supervisors a complete overview of the contact center. From here, supervisors can <strong>drill down into individual agent performance<\/strong>, tailoring feedback and training to individual needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A contact center Workforce Optimization solution is the cornerstone of agent resilience. An essential subset of this is contact center Workforce Management. That is, the scheduling and forecasting tools that help you plan for the future.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>The Basics of Contact Center Workforce Management<\/h2>\n<p>Contact center Workforce Management is all about empowering your agents to do their best work. It&#8217;s about scheduling, training, and on-the-job support. Supervisors should be able to provide clarity to their agents, control over working schedules, guidance during difficult interactions, and training that helps your agents develop professionally.<\/p>\n<p>A market-leading contact center Workforce Management solution will:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rt-bullet-list\">\n<li><strong>Make scheduling easy<\/strong> \u2013 With an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface, agent schedules can be organized in seconds, and automatically completed based on expected contact volumes and the particular mix of channels each agent handles.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/storm-cx\/data-and-integrations\/cx-integrations\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Put integration first<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Businesses often use multiple, overlapping systems. Your contact center Workforce Management solution should integrate seamlessly with any third-party system, to unify your employee data.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/storm-cx\/workforce-engagement-management\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Offer omni-channel forecasting<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Your contact center Workforce Management solution should provide reliable forecasts of contact demand to support agent scheduling. By factoring in your SLAs, agent availability, and customer contact history, an effective contact center Workforce Management solution can create schedules to meet any level of demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Contact center Workforce Management solutions offer a host of tools for supporting agents. But what makes an agent truly resilient?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Future of Resilient Agent Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Artificial Intelligence has arrived in the contact center. Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) have elevated chatbots from frustrating gimmicks to advanced automated assistants. And customers aren\u2019t the only ones benefitting. The agent of the future is supported by AI.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rt-bullet-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/brain-ai\/real-time-transcription-and-summarization\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Supported by advanced transcription<\/a>, an AI assistant can monitor an interaction as it progresses. Based on this information, this AI assistant can offer script suggestions, supporting the agent through difficult interactions, and leading to a more seamless experience.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/brain-ai\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">AI assistants can draw active, real-time insights from every interaction.<\/a> These can be presented to supervisors through a single, intuitive dashboard. Customer and agent sentiment can be automatically tracked, without the need for customers to fill out lengthy surveys.<\/li>\n<li>By monitoring agent strengths and weaknesses, generative AI can identify opportunities for improvement, and generate custom training content tailored to their needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The future of the contact center is intelligent. AI is changing the role of the agent, in some cases making that role more challenging. But it also offers ways of building resilience.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    \n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"block-columns toast-block no-margin padding-both has-bg\" style=\"background-color:#ddf3fc;\"> \n\n        \n\n\n<div class=\"columns-area\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                                <div class=\"main-column-grid grid\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(1, 1fr)\">\n                                    <div class=\"col \">\n                        <h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Contact Center Workforce Optimization with storm<span class=\"ProseMirror__styled\" title=\"superscript\" data-mark-styled-class=\"superscript\"><sup><sub>\u00ae<\/sub><\/sup><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cultivating resilience in your agents depends on the quality of your contact center Workforce Optimization solution.<\/p>\n<p>Content Guru\u2019s cloud-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contentguru.com\/en-gb\/products\/storm-cx\/workforce-engagement-management\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">contact center Workforce Management solution<\/a>, <strong>storm<\/strong><span class=\"ProseMirror__styled\" title=\"superscript\" data-mark-styled-class=\"superscript\"><sub>\u00ae<\/sub><\/span> WFM\u2122 provides everything you need to support your agents through the AI revolution.
