Genesys Cloud Workforce Management

What Genesys Cloud Workforce Management is

Genesys Cloud Workforce Management helps contact centers plan staffing and manage schedules against demand, business goals, and employee needs. Its cloud-based capabilities include interval volume forecasting, automated schedule creation, intraday management, real-time schedule adherence, time-off management, and capacity planning. Forecasting can account for interaction volume, average handle time, employee skills, business requirements, and employee needs; forecasts can then inform optimized schedules with little or no human intervention. The product also supports skills-based scheduling and agent self-service. Listed platforms are Android, iOS, web, and API. Genesys Cloud CX plans include an associate workspace and mobile experience, and the pricing comparison lists Tempo mobility apps. AppFoundry offers more than 600 apps and integrations, including Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics, and Zendesk. Developers can use over 3,000 public APIs. Genesys describes security practices across technology, people, and processes, along with privacy-by-design controls. Customers can submit and track tickets through a support portal. Genesys says it serves more than 8,000 organizations in over 100 countries.
