Employment Type: Full-time

Key Responsibilities:

• Using historical data and predictive analytics to forecast future staffing needs, considering factors like seasonal changes, promotions, or unexpected events. This prevents both overstaffing (wasted budget) and understaffing (poor customer service).
• Developing and managing employee schedules that match the forecasted demand while also accounting for employee availability, skill sets, time‑off requests, and labor regulations. This often involves using specialized WFM software for automation and efficiency.
• Tracking employee work hours, breaks, and absences to ensure accurate payroll processing and compliance with labor laws
• Real-Time (Intraday) Management: Monitoring daily operations and staffing levels in real-time. This involves dynamically adjusting schedules, reallocating resources, and responding quickly to unexpected events like sudden call volume spikes or agent absences to maintain service levels.
• Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as customer satisfaction (CSAT), first call resolution (FCR), and schedule adherence. This data is used to evaluate individual and team performance, identify areas for improvement, and provide coaching or additional training.
• Compiling comprehensive reports for senior management on workforce metrics, trends, and performance. This data helps inform short-term tactical decisions and long-term strategic planning for the organization.
