Every day, cyber incidents and their subsequent downtimes seem to fill the news. These downtimes, both costly and damaging to consumer trust, have rightfully been something that CISOs (chief information security officers) and CIOs (chief information officers) work to prevent with increasingly sophisticated security measures.

Consumers demand nothing less than the most personalised, timely, and efficient customer service. Unfortunately, traditional methods of contact centre staff capacity planning are not keeping up with the evolving needs of today’s post-pandemic marketplace. The inefficiency that results has a price in the form of hidden costs due to attrition, absenteeism, and low agent engagement as well as a negative impact on customer service quality. Organisations could reduce that inefficiency by adopting a scenario and risk-based approach to planning, says Paul Milloy, business consultant at Intradiem.
