Workforce Management & Engagement

Workforce management strategies to empower agents, optimise performance, and reduce attrition.

With contact centres embracing remote and hybrid working, it’s clear the traditional workforce model has evolved. Greater flexibility for agents presents new challenges, such as managing complex shift patterns, maintaining visibility, and keeping teams engaged.

Workforce management and engagement solutions are essential for staying ahead.

Workforce Management & Engagement
for the Contact Centre

Workforce engagement solutions and practices are vital to the successful operation of a modern contact centre.

Transform your Workforce Processes & Technology

We combine expert operational consulting with market-leading tools to help you reshape how your contact centre works. Our workforce solutions cover:

Resource Planning
(Workforce Management)

Forecast omnichannel demand with precision, create flexible schedules that suit both agents and customers, and boost performance using intelligent automation.

Quality and Compliance
(Quality Management)

Remove the manual burden from managers and quality analysts by automating the selection and evaluation of interactions across all channels to provide an exceptional customer experience, remove risk, and provide development opportunities for employees.

Speech and Text Analytics

Gain deep insight into customer needs, agent challenges, and recurring issues from Speech and Text Analytics Software. Use this data to refine both employee performance and internal processes.

Performance Management & Gamification

Improve leadership effectiveness by providing visibility, empowering agents to own their performance and ensuring motivation regardless of where employees are working from.

Together, these tools ensure your workforce is efficient, engaged, and ready to deliver exceptional customer experiences.

Solve Workforce Challenges Head-On

Remote and hybrid teams are harder to manage without the right tools. Here’s how workforce management & engagement can help solve today’s biggest issues:

  • Low visibility and control: Improve oversight of workloads and quality, even with fully remote teams.

  • Unpredictable demand: Accurately forecast and plan, even as digital channels and flexible shifts increase complexity.

  • Retention and motivation: Support employee engagement with personalised coaching, growth opportunities, and clear performance goals.

  • Rising customer expectations: Make sure every enquiry is handled quickly, efficiently, and by the right person the first time.

Workforce management and engagement aren’t just about installing software. Success comes from aligning tools with real-life processes and goals. That’s why our consulting team uses hands-on operational experience to guide every deployment.

What Our Clients Say

“IPI took the time to understand clearly what we wanted to achieve from this project and they delivered. From their extensive knowledge of the market, through to the training and management of the migration, we have been impressed, with our entire organisation feeling the benefits of moving to the cloud. Agents are saving valuable time through the efficiencies inherent in Genesys Cloud, allowing them to spend longer with our customers. IT administrators are able to do their job more easily with greater visibility into the customer service platform. Overall, our team is happy, which for us is validation that we made the right decision to transition to the cloud and that IPI was the right partner to get us there.”

Mark Sayer

EMIS

“As a utility company, we know our customers sometimes need information quickly, so don’t want to be on hold with a call centre or have to search through pages of information for the answers they need. The chatbot solves this, providing quick and easy access to information and improving our customers’ experience with our brand. IPI has made this transition easy for us. Its team of dedicated consultants worked collaboratively with our team, finding creative solutions to problems and making sure that the chatbot both reflected our brand and met the needs of our customers. We are delighted with the results to date and are excited about continuing our digital transformation journey with IPI.”

Orla McGivern

Customer and Insights Senior Manager at Northern Ireland Water
