Now, we're looking for a Workforce Specialist Service Excellence

As a Workforce Specialist at Angkas, acts as the operational backbone and tactical "brain" of the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. Its primary objective is to ensure the right number of agents, with the right skills, are in the right seats at the right time to handle customer interactions efficiently while minimizing operational costs.

Responsibilities

• Demand Forecasting: Analyzes historical data, seasonal trends, marketing campaigns, and business cycles to predict future contact volumes (calls, chats, emails). Calculates required staffing hours using standard formulas (e.g., Forecasted Volume × Average Handle Time 360 secs)
• Staff Scheduling & Rostering: Builds optimal shift patterns, breaks, and off-days to match predicted peak and slow periods. Balances employee preferences, skill-set requirements, and labor rules while minimizing overstaffing or understaffing.
• Real-Time (Intraday) Management: Monitors live dashboards, queue lengths, average speed of answer (ASA), and abandon rates. Responds immediately to unexpected call spikes, system outages, or high absenteeism by reallocating staff, moving breaks, or calling in overtime.
• Adherence and Attendance Tracking: Tracks whether agents are logged in, handling contacts, or on scheduled breaks (aux/offline time) as planned. Measures schedule adherence to make sure agents stay productive during paid hours.
• SLA (Service Level Agreement) Protection: Ensures the Department meets or exceeds strict Management metrics (e.g., answering 85% of calls in 40 seconds, chats within 5 mins) to avoid potential cost
• Reporting and Analytics: Generates operational scorecards, shrinkage tracking, attrition data, and productivity reports for internal leadership and external clients. Evaluates long-term efficiency to refine future labor planning and payroll accuracy.

Skills & Experience

• Data Analytics on reading historical trends, tracking KPIs, and turning raw numbers into smart staffing decisions.
• Forecasting and Planning on predicting future workloads based on seasonality, business cycles, and past performance.
• Scheduling capability to building fair, cost-effective shifts that match employee availability with real-time operational needs.
• Compliance Knowledge to understanding labor laws, break rules, and overtime regulations to reduce legal risk.
• Software Proficiency to build templates (Excel and Google sheets); knowledge to use WFM tools is a plus.
• Communication in explaining complex staffing changes and schedule policies clearly to both workers and managers.
• Problem-Solving on fixing sudden staffing gaps or emergency absences quickly without hurting productivity.
• Supporting team members, building trust, and boosting workplace morale.
• Prioritizing daily operational tasks while keeping an eye on long-term goals.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent reporting.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in WFM.
• Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and achieve team targets.
• Amenability to work onsite; working on weekends as Escalation POC (rotation based).

Benefits & Perks

• Work your way - Enjoy flexibility and the freedom to thrive in your role.
• Work-life balance - Build a career without sacrificing your personal life.
• Free perks - Fuel up with free meals and stay active with gym access.
• Grow fast - Unlock career advancement and promotion opportunities.

• Global vibes - Collaborate with a diverse, multicultural team in an agile workplace.
• Tech-driven culture - Work with modern tools and cutting-edge technology that keep you ahead of the game.
