Reallocate staff across branches

Key to being able to balance costs and service in branch banking is the ability to assign branch staff to work at multiple branches, in a resource pool for greater flexibility, or even across functions. When minimum staffing means thereā€™s excess branch capacity, staff can be allocated to support digital channels, the contact center, or the back office.

Prevent over/under branch staffing

Branch executives struggle to find the right balance between costs and customer experience. If you have more resources than customer demand, your branch costs increase. If you are understaffed, your customer satisfaction and sales growth will suffer. Branch forecasts that calculate demand by the half hour for each branch, and incorporate administrative and sales activities, can help you cost effectively staff your branches.
