  • CREATE a PLANNING CULTURE Small Changes That Can Make a Big Impact on Your Operation’S Efficiency and Performance
    leading thoughts / aug 2014 CREATE A PLANNING CULTURE Small changes that can make a big impact on your operation’s efficiency and performance. By Chuck Swain, Interactive Intelligence Pipeline Articles www.contactcenterpipeline.com Create a Planning Culture t’s no secret that personnel costs make up roughly two-thirds of contact center operating budgets. Getting the “right” number of staff in place is critical to ensure that your center can Imeet service goals and control costs. Yet one of the top missteps contact center leaders make is to deprioritize their strategic planning process in lieu of “running the contact center.” The day-to-day execution of your staffing plan is a very important part of delivering service in a contact center. How well you’re prepared for each interval of the day is a critical success factor that distinguishes good performance from chaos. By prioritizing contact center planning and investing in a workforce management (WFM) function, you can overcome staffing and Chuck Swain workload challenges, control agent stress and become proficient at maintaining a cost-efficient Interactive Intelligence environment. Plan to Plan A fundamental first step is to dedicate the right resources to planning. Supporting a WFM function must be a top priority! WFM’s planning role will coordinate much of what it takes to help leadership predict future events, which isn’t a “straight-line” undertaking. Your WFM team will be asked to compile mounds of data and turn it into something usable for capacity planning and scheduling against daily and intraday volume patterns. Expecting to “do more with less” by asking a contact center supervisor or manager to moonlight in the WFM role is a bad idea.

    Tips for Time Management Lisa Medoff, Ph.D. Education Specialist Stanford School of Medicine lmedoff@stanford.edu • Plan ahead and set a schedule o Be both strict and flexible: Work when you plan to do so, but be willing to substitute another high-priority task when you cannot focus on what you had planned to work on. o Include both free time (socializing and media use) and cushion time (extra hours for unpredicted circumstances) in your planned schedule. ! Try to avoid unscheduled social and media time as much as possible. ! Decide ahead of time who/what is worth breaking your schedule for and who/what is not. ! Schedule a few hours for catching up once a week. If you are all caught up, use this time to reward yourself with a break (or, if you are really motivated, use it to get ahead for next week!). o Be accountable to someone. ! Share your schedule with a friend and ask him/her to check in with you later to make sure you followed it. ! Know when you need to be held the most accountable. Early mornings? Evenings? Arrange to meet someone at a designated time to help keep you on track. • Be realistic: As you adjust to a new study schedule, keep track of how long you estimate a task will take and compare it to how long it actually takes. Also keep track of which ways of studying are the most efficient and which ones take up time, but do not 1 seem to add much value. Finally, keep track of ways that you wasted your time.

  • Time Management
    Leadership Category: Personal Leadership Simple Thing to Do Time Management Background Scheduling and managing time wisely are important for the student organization leader. If you miss important appointments and deadlines you will cause complications both to your organization and to your academic and personal life. This causes anxiety, frustration, guilt, and other nasty feelings. Purpose What is Time Management? • It is a process of constantly asking what is more important, and arranging priorities to reflect each choice. • It is knowing: o A system: For helping you meet your goals o Practical tips: For using your time effectively o How to succeed: When facing stumbling blocks or procrastination o Yourself: Your habits, goals, and time during the day when you’re most alert and productive o Time management really means managing yourself! Time Management Tips • Only 20-25 percent of a student’s time is controllable, and the average student is interrupted every 10 to 15 minutes. This fact suggests the need to minimize interruptions but also to plan them into your day. • An effective way to isolate and manage the interruptions and any unexpected items is to use a priority system. On your daily to-do list, mark the important and essential things to be done today with A, the secondary items with B, and the marginal items with C. • Delegate (provide link to delegating tips here): o Determine who and why o Determine what and when o Check for understanding and acceptance o Have interim status checks o Recognize and reward • Paperwork: Handle materials once. Choose one of the four D’s: dump it, do it, delegate it, or delay/defer it.

  • Principles of Effective Time Management for Balance, Well
    The principles below are derived from research on time management, motivation theory and much experience working with university students. Think of time management techniques as tools to help you do what you value the most. Make these tools into an expression of your values—what’s most important to you—not just a schedule to get more stuff done. Try to keep these principles in mind as you schedule and calendar your time, and when making the moment-to‐moment decisions that are crucial to effective time management for balance and well-being. 1. Commitment—if you can’t commit to devoting time to a task, don’t put it in your schedule. Only schedule tasks you WILL do. Be brutally realistic, not idealistic when making your schedule. Creating a schedule you can’t actually keep is setting yourself up for frustration. If you don’t actually stick to your schedule it will soon become useless. This may have happened to you in the past. 2. Pursue fun with a vengeance—Make time for enjoyable, rejuvenating and satisfying activities like organizations, sports, and entertainment. Organize your academic and other obligations AROUND these commitments to fun. 3. Time vs. task focus—Think of your day in terms of time, not the tasks you have to do. Devote time to important tasks every day. It’s hard to predict how long a task will take, so it’s hard to schedule with great precision. But you can reliably schedule regular intervals of time and get into a routine. Make an appointment with yourself for a particular time period, and when playing or working, set your purpose “I'll get the most out of this time.” 4.
