Global Workforce Optimization/Workforce Engagement Management (WFO/WEM) Products and Market Report 2023 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "2022-2023 Workforce Optimization/Workforce Engagement Management Product and Market Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

WFO/WEM suites improve the customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) while enhancing productivity, critical corporate goals in good and bad economic times.

Many components of a "contact center" WFO/WEM suite can provide substantial benefits and productivity improvements beyond the contact center, to other people-intensive enterprise functions, particularly back-office and branch operating departments.

AI-enabled solutions to meet CX and EX demands

The primary purpose of WFO/WEM solutions is to capture and provide the insights, analytics, and automation that companies need to build and maintain outstanding and enduring relationships with their customers and employees. Companies that want to thrive in today's business world must create a positive, flexible, and rewarding work environment that enables them to hire and retain great employees.

And they need to support their staff with intelligent tools and updated processes that empower them to become customer advocates who provide a frictionless CX, cost-effectively. This is a particularly vital goal in an era where customer expectations continue to shift and expand, and employee retention is growing in importance.

The definition of a great customer experience continues to evolve, and any company that wants to provide an outstanding CX must utilize a flexible servicing infrastructure that adapts as quickly as its customers' requirements change. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in.

A number of AI technologies, enabled by the flexibility and processing power of the cloud, are the driving forces behind most of the innovation occurring in the market. Artificial intelligence-based technologies harness real-time capabilities that allow enterprises to deliver a responsive and fluid service experience.

AI gives agents or automated self-service solutions customized guidance and context-based information that position them to meet and exceed the expectations of each person who reaches out for assistance.
