Workforce Optimization/Workforce Engagement Management Product and Market Report 2022: Featuring Key Players Alvaria, Authority Software, Calabrio, NICE, Playvox, Puzzel Ltd. & Verint System

DUBLIN, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "2022-2023 Workforce Optimization/Workforce Engagement Management Product and Market Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Artificial intelligence, automation, analytics, digital transformation, self-service, and a lot more are changing the entire servicing world. The list of innovation that has come to market in the last couple of years is long, but it's just the beginning of what is expected to be delivered as part of the new AI-enabled WFO/WEM applications.

AI-enabled new-gen WFM is revolutionizing the staffing paradigm
New-gen workforce management (WFM) solutions perform the classic functions of a WFM application; however, the notable and exciting element in new-gen WFM is that employees have direct input and participate in every step of the planning process. Employees can even make changes after a schedule is generated, without penalty.

Workforce management administrators/supervisors also benefit from new-gen WFM, as these solutions greatly reduce the time required to enter agent schedules and changes manually into the system, freeing them to focus their efforts on optimizing departmental performance.

This drives positive impacts on the customer experience (CX) and benefits the culture and performance of the contact center or other departments utilizing the WFM solution, which improves the company's bottom line.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an essential enabler of many of the advancements in WFM solutions. AI makes it possible to manage the complexities associated with forecasting and scheduling digital channels - concurrency, asynchronous transactions, lapsed time, cross-channel interactions, etc. It increases the accuracy of forecasts and enables the application to auto-select the optimal algorithm for each situation. AI is used for real-time adaptive scheduling, which improves accuracy, flexibility and fairness. It also facilitates the handling of vacation planning, paid time off (PTO), voluntary time off (VTO), overtime (OT), shrinkage projections, and much more. In the future, DMG expects to see predictive analytics used to lign WFM recommendations and schedules with contact centers' core routing and queuing engines to improve the customer and agent experience while increasing productivity and reducing costs.
