St Paul, MN - My main focus is working on the assessment, planning and implementation of current projects that require system and process changes, and analyzing current business processes to identify areas eligible for changes and updates for improvement or simplification.
My smaller roles include managing the enrollment of a few specific provider types, and working with the communications team to develop and improve upon our provider website and online tools.

Salt Lake City, Utah - I analyzed historical data to forecast call volume and handle time trends. We then used the forecast information to determine appropriate staffing levels, as well as staffing needs. Those needs were communicated to Account and Project Managers along with recommendations of schedules and number to hire to ensure business needs were met.
I built and analyzed schedules weekly for an average of 750 full time equivalents over approximately 7 to 9 clients, ranging from high profile technology based clients to smaller catalog-based retailers. I authored reports that assisted with the evaluation and assessment of unit productivity on a daily, weekly, monthly and per interval basis.

Yakima, Washington - The majority of my day to day work involved entering and adjusting employee unavailability and vacation time, and pulling daily reports in Blue Pumpkin scheduling software. I evaluated all schedule change and vacation requests prior to approval to ensure they would not conflict with business needs.
The reports were used to evaluate and assess unit productivity.
I maintained and audited employee time cards using Kronos Workforce Timekeeper.
While balancing the reporting and time off requests, I monitored multiple queues in real time to manage daily, weekly and monthly Service Level and Margin goals. My team investigated and analyzed call volume trends and campaign activity to identify areas in need of improvement.
