Contact Center Workforce Management Certification Workshops, 2013 Schedule Announcement From BenchmarkPortal

Santa Barbara, CA, Mar 11, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- BenchmarkPortal is announcing their contact center training schedule for Workforce Management Training. The new schedule includes more in-person locations and new live online workshops.

The BenchmarkPortal contact center Workforce Management Certification training course covers the entire workforce management process- from the gathering of data to the production of forecasts, schedules and budgets. We include lessons that benefit attendees from any size organization, large and small, with real-world examples of solutions that work in practice - not just theory.

Participants will come to understand the processes that make up the foundation of an effective workforce management practice. They will learn the best ways to gather the right data at the right time to maximize call center scheduling and staffing. They will also learn results reporting for effective decisions and actions.

The course includes information on how to build forecasting models that work; how to use Excel to do time series modeling; and how to build an Erlang C-based staffing model. Among the course topics are options for building staff plans to meet budget and scheduling needs and results reporting that drives effective decisions and actions. Also covered in this course is a change management approach to overcome the "Big Brother" syndrome.
