What Is Workforce Engagement Management?

Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) is the management approach that deals with contact centre employee performance. WEM encompasses the entire lifecycle of contact centre employees:

  • Hiring
  • Onboarding
  • Assigning KPIs
  • Managing
  • Motivating
  • Rewarding
  • Call recording
  • Optimization

WEM has evolved from what used to be known as “Workforce Optimization” or WFO. WFO focused on efficiencies and managing end results, with a focus on metrics such as per-employee productivity and costs.

WEM takes a more holistic, pyramid-flip approach, focusing on driving results through engaging employees. WEM tools include call recording, performance management, quality management tools, and workforce management.
