- ich provides a high level snap shot of how resources are being used. Inversely, it reflects how much time CSRs on average are "waiting" for a call. An 85% occupancy rate means that 15% of the CSR time is available and waiting for a call.
- Occupancy is a key factor looked at in workforce management and planning. The workforce planner and managers/supervisors should be accountable for occupancy. They should also model it and the targets should be realistically set based on the volumes, handle times, and size and staffing level of the center.
- Occupancy will be lower for smaller groups and higher for larger groups. If occupancy runs too high, too often, it can lead to "burn out" and turnover.
