Excellent resource for call centers! Jan 23, 2008
By D. Freeman
This book is the most comprehensive in call center workforce management and staffing of all the ones I've reviewed on this topic. It was written by call center professionals who have "lived through it" and understand the operations and technology in today's call center business. A must-read for workforce management, supervisors and managers in a call center.
 Call Centre Staffing Feb 22, 2012
By Heather Lubek
I really found this book especially useful when used in conjunction with the Online 11 module course. I am an absolute beginner and once I received this book everything made more sense. I am still reading this book and so have not yet finished it but I have used every page of this book so far in my research as a new Workforce Manager. It is detailed but basic and gives you very simplistic examples to follow. It is as it says it is a 'practical guide' It will be my handbook/reference book I will keep on my desk at all times.
This really helped Feb 06, 2012

In our call center, we receive high volume inbound calls. We always had this challenge of scheduling right number of FTEs to work to handle the call volume. We were having issues when we were not able to meet the Service Level Requirements.
We purchased this book and this made our job way easier. We were only able to forecast the call volume but were able to schedule right number of heads on shift each day. This helped us in lowering down our overhead cost per head that we were paying by some time schedule extra heads as we were not sure initially. Also, we are now able to take the shrinkage factor into account hence again no extra over cost.
We are now able to meet our SL of 80/30. This has indeed added value to our daily operations. I highly recommend this book if you really want to know how many FTEs are required to handle X number of calls in every 30 minutes interval.
Awesome reference for call center employees! Oct 18, 2011
By Russ M.
I work in technical support for a big online university and, while I love helping people, I'm tired of answering the phones. It was about a month ago when I got the email at work that our Workforce Management department had some openings, so I decided to make a play for the job. I immediately overnighted this book (and one other but it wasn't nearly as useful) to help me in my quest to move off the phones. This book, even with the charges for overnight shipping, is worth the money (and was delivered before 10 AM the next day, which made me a HAPPY customer).
Penny Reynolds and the Call Center School have put together an incredibly comprehensible and vernacular synopsis of what it takes to staff a call center. I learned a lot from this book and felt the examples were very clear and illustrative of the author's points. If you are looking to get into resource/workforce management, this book is a must-have.
Awesome book! Mar 29, 2011
