DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "2020 - 2021 Workforce Management Product and Market Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Today's WFM solutions are evolving to keep pace with the changing business world. Workforce priorities have shifted, as have other management trends, including the introduction of innovative smart technology, expanding global business and broader market opportunities.
Next-gen WFM solutions take staffing and service optimization to the next level
The best of today's solutions make sure the right number of resources with the right skills and personality are available to deliver optimal service. This is a necessity for companies that want to deliver an outstanding and optimized customer experience in each customer's channel of choice. Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technology have augmented the role and importance of intraday management. Flexible planning approaches, like real-time adaptive scheduling, dynamically respond in real-time to unexpected changes in demand and resources during the workday. New-gen WFM solutions make employees active participants in modifying their schedules to respond to these intraday changes and to address the variable schedule needs of the gig economy and employees' demand for work/life balance.
