Manage Staffing Presets

Updated 

Staffing Presets are predefined configurations of staffing metrics, such as shrinkage, concurrency, and average handling time. Staffing Presets can be defined for individual channels, such as voice calls, live chat, and video chat. They can be specified as a fixed value or configured based on the day of the week and time of day.

​​Configurable Metrics

Shrinkage

Expressed as a percentage. Shrinkage refers to the percentage of time that employees are not available to handle customer interactions due to breaks, meetings, training, or other non-productive activities.

Average Handling Time (AHT)

Expressed as seconds. AHT represents the average duration it takes for a customer service agent to handle a customer interaction from start to finish. It includes time spent talking to the customer, as well as any additional tasks required after the call ends.

Max Average Speed of Answer (ASA)

Expressed in seconds, ASA represents the maximum time it takes for an interaction to be answered by an available agent, on average, across all types of interactions, during a specified period. It measures the responsiveness of the support system to incoming queries or requests.

Min Service Level

The Service Level Goal sets the target percentage of all interactions that should be addressed within a specified time frame, known as the Service Level Time.

Occupancy

Occupancy is expressed as a percentage, indicating how many agents are available to handle interactions, taking into account both their productive and non-productive time.
