Planning for Outsourcers: BPO WFM Best Practices

Managing WFM across multiple client contracts is not the same problem as managing for one business. SLAs vary by client, contracts change scope mid-term, and multiple channels and sites add complexity to forecasting.

Ben Heslop and Peopleware’s Tom De Luca walk through how BPO planning teams handle this in practice and where standard WFM tools fall short.
