WFM Helper

About WFM Helper

Free, practical workforce management tools for the contact centre industry.

Our mission

Most workforce management maths sits locked inside expensive platforms or fragile spreadsheets passed between analysts. WFM Helper exists to put the everyday calculations, staffing, shrinkage, capacity, occupancy, attrition and service level, in front of anyone who needs them, for free, with no signup and no data leaving the browser. Each tool is designed to answer one planning question quickly and explain the logic behind the answer, so planners, team leaders and operations managers can trust and defend the number they take into a review.

Who builds it

WFM Helper is built by a workforce management professional with over a decade of contact centre operations experience. The calculators here are cleaned-up versions of tools used day to day to plan, schedule and steer real operations across sites, channels and lines of business, the same logic applied in forecasting reviews, capacity plans and intraday decisions, rebuilt as simple web tools.

Need something deeper?

For teams that need more than a single-interval calculation, a full Excel/VBA WFM toolkit is available separately, real-time management dashboards, long-range capacity planners, shrinkage trackers and reporting packs. The free tools on this site cover the core calculations; the toolkit covers the full planning cycle.
