Communication can prove challenging for sups and managers in the remote world. It can often be difficult to get an agent’s attention so making it is unclear if the agent is at their desk working. For example, the following scenario is not uncommon:

  • An agent shows offline in the Dialer

  • The WFM team notifies the agent they are showing offline and there is no acknowledgement of message received

  • The agent’s sup messages the agent with no reply

  • The sup calls the agent in Teams and there is no answer

  • The sup calls the agent's phone and there is no answer

Inboxes

  • Have your CXP inbox open on one browser and verify notifications are working correctly.

  • Have your AIQ inbox open on another browser and verify notifications are working correctly.

  • Also have your personal inbox ready to check.

  • Check all inboxes a few times each day.

  • For received emails, reply to acknowledge receipt.
