Considering bringing workers back into the office in 2021? Watch the webinar replay, How to Enable a Hybrid Home/Office Staffing Model Using WFM Tools
As COVID-19 vaccines are becoming more prevalent and available, companies are considering when the right time to bring staff back to the office will be and if it will be all, none or a mix of home and office. Consider a recent survey conducted by Gartner, 74% of CFOs surveyed plan to shift some employees to a permanent remote capacity, while a general HR survey revealed that 41% of employees are likely to remain remote post-pandemic.
There are many opinions and options for bringing workers back to the office. In fact, many contact centers are setting schedules that regularly rotates agents in and out of the office. In this webinar, Aspect experts, Michael Kropidlowski, Senior Director of Product Marketing and Eric Hagaman, Senior Product Manager, discuss how some workforce management features can be used to seamlessly enable “work-from-anywhere” agents. They also discuss how to leverage a mix of remote and in office workers with flexible scheduling strategies to meet both employee and business wishes and needs.
A mobile workforce has become the standard for contact centers. While this industry and many others weigh bringing all or some employees back to the office, we will continue to see the evolution of workforce technology tools that make it easier to be mobile and help ensure workers are as efficient and effective away from the office as they are in the office.
Watch this on-demand webinar replay, Enabling the Mobile, Work-From-Anywhere Workforce. Better understand how organizations can allow contact center employees to be immediately mobile so the workforce is ready for whatever new conditions uncertain times may bring. Learn how the Aspect® Workforce Optimization™ solution arms the mobile workforce with elegant, simplified smartphone access to common WFM scheduling functions, deeper cloud integrations supporting browser-based “workforce anywhere” access and enhanced performance feedback to employees so they can quickly self-correct while staying engaged and on track.
Adhering to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) debt collection practices guidelines requires outbound solutions designed around flexible configuration capabilities that reduce costs while balancing productivity with compliance.
In this webinar, Stephen Loynd, TrendzOwl founder and principal, frames the market issues and methods for achieving “compliant by design” outbound in light of the latest CFPB debt collections practices guidelines.
Topics covered include:
- Key elements of the November 2021 CFPB rule changes
- Important takeaways regarding evolving channel preference
