wAnywhere Break & Aux Time Management – Align employee hours with business productivity

Posted On March 27, 2023

A business grows in proportion to the productivity its employees execute at work. Helping your workforce utilize most of its work hours keeps them focused on achieving business goals. Employee time is critical that organizations need to align with business growth.

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.

wAnywhere break and aux management set in place enables businesses to track employee productive / non-productive hours. BPOs can know either agents exceeding or utilizing aux time for ACW (after-call works). 

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

Configure Employee Break Time

Define the number of breaks (i.e., 4, etc.) and break duration (i.e., 60 minutes, etc.) for employees to track their break time.

wAnywhere integrates a wellness feature; aimed to encourage employees to take breaks after defined hours and save them from burning out from prolonged work hours.

Configure Employee Aux Time

Define employee / agent aux time for meeting / training / ACW (after-call works) / presentation, etc. and configure employee machine camera release (say, if the camera needed to be used by another app) / retain (say, if the camera not needed to be used by another app). Also, configure the notification to get employee aux time alerts.

Create Employee Aux Time

Create aux time based on employee / agent job-bound needs (say, demo / after-call work, etc.) with allocating department (marketing / sales, etc.) and duration (i.e., 30 / 15 minutes, etc.).
