Observing employee break / aux time is a challenge – even more for organizations with a remote workforce. BPOs, too, struggle with monitoring agent aux time. It impacts overall business productivity and results in per-hour billing loss. The absence of agent aux time management causes BPOs unable to track agent aux time utilization and can lead to distracted agents lacking productivity.

The following easy steps will help you get wAnywhere break & aux time management set in place:
