The majority of customer service queries are repetitive and simple in nature, like ‘how do I reset my password’, ‘where is my delivery’, or ‘what time is your store open’. While these queries can easily lead to agentburnout, they also use up valuable agent time.
These include: Servicelevel: This metric is defined as the percentage of messages and calls that are answered by a live agent within the organization’s target time frame. A high servicelevel serves as an indication that contact center agents are performing efficiently. See a Demo Today.
If too many people are scheduled, you’ll see downtime between interactions, lower occupancy rates, and lower employee productivity for the agents. If not enough people are scheduled, you will often see agentburnout due to minimal breaks between interactions, a higher-than-ideal occupancy rate, and higher overtime costs.
ServiceLevel Scores Servicelevel measures how effectively agents meet response goals, like answering 80% of inbound calls within 20 seconds. This KPI reflects your call center QA operations and impacts both agent performance and customer satisfaction.
Call center workforce management is the art and science of having the right number of agents available at the right times to answer an accurately forecasted volume of incoming customer contacts at the servicelevel standard set by a contact center while minimizing cost. Leaders must set the tone for everyone else to follow.
No contact center wants to be caught off-guard by unexpected volumes and missed servicelevels on a daily basis or be blind to what is going on in real time across their business.

When call center productivity is measured as a percentage of occupancy or the total number of calls per hour, factors like servicelevel objectives and staffing levels aren’t taken into consideration. Ideally, you need your occupancy rate to be under 90% to compensate for random demand fluctuations and avoid agentburnout.
And with customers having higher servicelevel expectations than ever, deploying AI solutions into your existing contact center systems is vital for business success. Boost agent productivity by letting your agents focus on more important jobs while Balto handles tedious tasks with its powerful AI capabilities.
The cost of overstaffing: wasted resources & lower profitability Overstaffing happens when too many agents are scheduled relative to customer demand. While it may seem like a safe approach to ensure servicelevels are met, the reality is that it leads to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs.
Improve servicelevels SLAs are critical for measuring and maintaining service quality. By predicting call volumes and customer demand with precision, you can ensure that your team is prepared to handle the incoming workload, maintaining consistent service delivery. But why is getting that prediction right so crucial?
