QStory supports agent well-being by giving agents more control over their time while aligning work with real-time demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agents can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Self-serve shift swaps, breaks, and adjustments through an AI-driven system with automated approvals
– Use Agent Flex to move, slide, or split shifts to better fit their schedules
– See clear, real-time visibility of workload and performance
– Use quieter periods for coaching, training, and 1:1 development
– Benefit from balanced workloads, with staffing aligned to demand and real-time queue movement during spikes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These features help reduce burnout while improving retention and overall efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Agents can view schedules in real time and easily swap shifts and breaks with colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
QStory goes further by enabling agents to move, slide, or split shifts across different days. For example, a 4-hour shift can be split into two shorter shifts on separate days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All changes are guided by intelligent guardrails that align moves with periods of higher demand, ensuring service levels are maintained or improved. This even enables \u201cred-to-red\u201d shift moves, where time is reallocated to busier periods for a net positive impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This approach delivers measurable results; for example, eBay increased contact handling capacity by 40,000 interactions in one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
