Call center workforce optimization starts with shrinkage: Orgplanly works it free

Every workforce plan is one number somebody has to defend: how many people. Get it wrong upward and the budget conversation is painful; wrong downward and the queue is. Orgplanly's free worksheets work that number from your own figures, the agents a forecast really needs once shrinkage and occupancy are counted, and the hires a headcount target really needs once attrition is, and Orgplanly Pro keeps them: every role, plan version, forecast and actual against the record, branded and exportable.

Orgplanly Pro is $90 per month for your whole team, billed monthly.

Forecast. Roster. Defend.

Orgplanly works out how many people are needed and keeps the plan that says so

The requirement
The agents a forecast needs, once shrinkage is counted Raw workload is contacts times handle time, and it is always the smaller number. What a roster actually needs is that divided by target occupancy and again by one minus shrinkage. The free worksheet shows both and, in between, exactly how many agents shrinkage alone accounts for, which is the figure that ends the argument.
The plan
The hires a headcount target needs, once attrition is Net growth is the number people put in the plan and it is never the number they have to hire. Add expected leavers at your own attrition rate and the requisition count often doubles. The worksheet returns it, and the latest week a requisition can be approved and still start inside the year.
The record
Every version, so the plan can be defended six months later Plans are argued in meetings and remembered differently afterwards. Pro keeps each version with its inputs against the team it belongs to, so what was assumed about attrition, shrinkage or handle time is a record rather than a recollection.
