Fear of missing out? New technological advancements in self scheduling and micro shifting
Planners and Schedulers are under increased pressure to provide hyper flexibility in the scheduling methodology and the general opinion is that micro shifting is too confusing and complex to manage.
Life may have changed for all of us; for some, this means the ideal schedule is a couple hours early, a few hours midday and maybe a couple of hours later in the day. This type of flexibility is rare in the contact centre. Join this session to discuss the options available to you today and
- Discover how we challenge this perception as we demonstrate the capability to meet this demand.
- Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the different scheduling methodologies that can be used more efficiently with technology.
- Learn how technology can support the transition into self scheduling and micro shifting

The Evolving World of Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) in the Cloud: Five Tactics that Help Keep Agents Engaged in a Modern Contact Centre
It’s no secret the contact centre is forever changed. Moving to a cloud contact centre can prove valuable with virtually limitless resources; fast, cost-effective scalability to accommodate seasonal changes and sustained growth; and access to new or more robust technology. A modern workforce also understands the shifting needs of customers as we come out of this pandemic. Modern contact centre leaders know that an engaged workforce is more suited to tackling these new challenges, and keeping remote agents engaged involves providing tools that directly relate to their own performance.
Join Charlie Snedden of Calabrio to learn more about tangible tactics – including enabling scheduling flexibility and easy dashboard development and access – that can keep your agents engaged and the evolving needs of customers met.

What Communications & Collaboration systems and processes are needed in Hybrid Working Environments that put all citizens on a level operating field
Having problems with absenteeism and engagement? Declining performance and productivity? People isolation and motivation? Is the new world of working making these problems worse?
In this session, Steve Mosser will examine today’s burning work-from-home (WFH) and hybrid (home/office) challenges.
Steve will explain why legacy collaboration tools designed for the office are often not suitable for managing WFH and hybrid operations and what’s required to overcome those challenges. He will also discuss the need to create solutions that always deliver the right information immediately through the right medium (while giving equal support, attention & care to everyone) and the importance of re-writing workflows that bring your work communities together as equal ‘citizens’ motivated and supported to deliver service excellence.
Finally, Steve will demonstrate the capabilities of Sensée’s unique LiveDesk platform, a Digital Workplace that supports customised communications and unifies entire WFH and office-based operations on the same work mission. LiveDesk is at the heart of the tech ecosystem that supports Sensée’s own 1400 strong WFH workforce and, since lockdown, is being used by a growing number of UK blue chips.
