A staggering 42.6% of survey respondents said they do not plan for digital channels currently in their WFM system. This suggests that the learning journey for effectively managing these channels is very much in its infancy, and that many organizations struggle with this.

This is quite concerning, particularly as 20.5% said they manually forecast for digital channels, because traditional call-handling calculations aren’t fit for purpose for many digital interactions (such as live chat and email), as these are asynchronous conversations and harder to resource for.
