“Stress” by definition isn’t inherently negative; some stress is actually good! Exercise places physical stress on the body, which is part of improving overall health. Similarly, some demanding mental tasks cause cognitive stress, which can improve focus and decision-making. However, there is a limit, and excessive stress will negatively impact performance at some point.  Beyond impacts on the individual, stress can affect the overall health of a company. Attrition and filling open roles are costly for businesses, and stressed employees may struggle to deliver even adequate customer service. Lackluster customer service can tarnish a brand’s reputation for years. “Meh” level customer service can read as apathy to consumers, who will quickly look elsewhere if they can after a bad experience.  A scientific approach, supported by a quality WFM solution, can be taken to measure cognitive load

Understanding cognitive load opens an entire world of opportunities to enhance all phases of the WFM lifecycle and the agent experience. Supported agents make customers happy!
