Course Overview:
This hands-on course is designed for professionals working in Workforce Planning, Reporting, and Analytics within contact centres (Voice, Digital, Webchat).
Participants will learn how to use Python within a Databricks environment to analyze agent and queue-level data, understand key operational metrics, and build a basic intraday forecast model.
The training combines Python fundamentals with real-world contact centre datasets and scenarios, enabling participants to move from raw data to actionable workforce insights.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
● Use Python in Databricks for workforce data analysis
● Understand and calculate key contact centre metrics
● Analyze intraday demand patterns across channels
● Prepare real-world operational data for forecasting
● Build a basic intraday forecast model
● Translate forecasts into actionable workforce insights
Target Audience:
● Workforce Management (WFM) professionals
● Reporting & Analytics teams
● Operations analysts in contact centres
● Anyone working with agent, queue, or intraday performance data
Why Choose This Course?
This course is designed to help professionals develop practical Python skills for workforce analytics and forecasting in contact centres. Participants will gain hands-on experience using Python within a Databricks environment to analyze real-world operational data and understand key workforce metrics such as AHT, SLA, ASA, Occupancy, and Shrinkage.The training focuses on real business scenarios across Voice, Chat, Webchat, and Digital channels, making the learning highly relevant and industry-focused. Participants will also learn how to clean and prepare workforce data, identify intraday demand patterns, and build basic forecasting models that support staffing and operational decision-making.
