WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT
OUR APPROACH
We provide practical solutions to Optimise Contact Centres and Customer Service Operations through contact intelligent routing strategies, employee engagement, and best practice workforce management and business processes to meet customer service delivery goals.
Our approach is grounded in our internally developed framework, WFM7. Built on best practice and leveraging our team’s experience, the framework provides a clear structure of activities and a supporting cadence that successfully delivers workforce management services. Our methodology supports financial budgeting and strategic/business planning processes. As well as reducing financial and non-compliance risks, operational expenses and improving customer satisfaction and employee engagement.
From providing complete end to end WFM management, through to specific short term support engagements; Customer Driven provide our clients a range of support options to allow for a tailored approach to delivering on their specific needs.
The changing landscape of remote workers and an increase in complex enquiries are providing new challenges in optimising workforces while delivering service goals.
Competitive advantage comes from how the organisation adapts to overcome these challenges. Optimised Customer Service Operations align technical, human and business factors to meet needs in effective and efficient ways.
