Automating agent moves to back up calls
Results
Call selection override, which is active for the emergency hunt group, helps to ensure that calls in this skill are answered quickly. When this skill exceeds its thresholds, agents are diverted from their primary skills to assist. Additionally, Activate on Oldest Call Waiting causes the wait time of the oldest call in queue for the emergency skill to be monitored every 5 seconds. If the wait time of the oldest call exceeds either the overload 1 or overload 2 levels, reserve agents become eligible. Since the call volumes of emergency skills tend to be fairly unpredictable, the normal Expected Wait Time trigger for reserves is less accurate and therefore less effective in activating reserves at the right times. With low thresholds and a check of the oldest call every 5 seconds, the activation of reserves is more reliable in this critical, but very unpredictable situation.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment automatically adjusts thresholds to help maintain service levels for nonemergency skills. If, for example, there is an unusually high number of power outages being reported as a result of a storm, the thresholds for Residential Accounts may be lowered to engage reserves more quickly. Dynamic Threshold Adjustment will be off for emergency skills because these overloads should never be adjusted upward.
