What does a Workforce Planner really do? Think of yourself as the leader who ensures
staff optimization by ensuring you have adequate resources to meet demand; and
keep a close eye and resolve concerns on schedule adherence, service levels,
absenteeism, and other applicable service and efficiency metrics. You will have the
foresight in preparing for voice and non-voice volume, seat occupancy, average
handle time, and other factors that measure productivity and campaign performance.

So, it’s time to imagine what it’s like being a Workforce Planner. Imagine that you’re an
orchestrator, aligning with numerous programs to optimize employee productivity,
coordinating with training and talent acquisition to forecast and manage staffing
needs, and collaborating with IT to customize information systems - to help supervise the
fiscal activities within your team. You will monitor the accuracy of billing procedures for
all clients within the site; and identify strategies to improve campaign processes and
opportunities to increase profitability. As you tackle your new tasks for the day, you
know that it will lead to one thing: you must be effective in driving staffing forecasts that
are best for our people and our business.
 

As a Workforce Planner, you will coordinate with operations, clients, and client services
to be able to gather all the relevant data related to forecasting and calculation of
program requirements (for capacity planning and for a scheduling standpoint). Along
with this, you will be in charge of maintaining a roster of staff with accurate employee
details which includes availability, preferences and skills.
 

What else? You will publish over/under snapshots, and create action plans that would
either address any staffing gaps or minimize overages. You will be responsible for inputs
in the online capacity plan tool and in ensuring that the seating plan is accurate and
adequate to meet operational needs.
