Workforce Asset Management Book of Knowledge

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Sustaining the Desired Future State and Training for Successful Workforce Asset Management

IN THIS CHAPTER, THE NEED for ongoing system and operational support after the workforce management (WFM) system goes live is examined. End-user adoption of a WFM system is essential to the organization. Managing and tracking system usability are described, including quantitative and qualitative metrics so the organization can see what is and is not working. Because WFM systems impact employees daily, it is imperative that a full training process be developed, to sustain usability, build employee confidence, and to ease help desk call volume. Role-based training helps support the different types of employees that will use the system, and organization needs will drive delivery methods and materials.
