Maximizing Workforce Efficiency Through Coaching-Driven Optimization

Wednesday Nov 6, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT — REGISTER NOW!



Workforce optimization efforts often focus on reducing the time front-line agents spend off the phones, aiming to decrease handle times and increase first-contact resolution. However, this approach can backfire, leading to undertrained agents who spend more time navigating customer scenarios—essentially achieving the opposite of optimization. In this session, Ed and Jason will explore how prioritizing a coaching-driven approach can yield better business outcomes.

Attendees will learn:
  • Why increasing agents’ off-phone time can enhance efficiency
  • How to target the right agents with the right coaching strategies
  • Ways to foster a culture that balances well-being with optimization
