The Story
In the People Analytics simulation, learners assume the role of the Human Resources Director for a large customer support call center. With 500 agents and 25 team leaders to manage, the participant’s task is to make HR decisions that align with the company’s strategic objectives—enhancing customer satisfaction while managing costs.
Over the course of six years, the participant faces decisions in several key areas, including HR policies, training, rewards, performance management, staffing, and recruitment. Success in the simulation depends on creating a high-performing, engaged, and well-trained workforce.
Each year, the participant generates a staffing and recruitment plan based on projected workloads, factoring in assumptions about the center’s future needs. As the simulation progresses, learners face challenges arising from shifts in the external environment.
The simulation provides the participant with a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that allows them to refine their HR skills and make informed decisions which contribute to the call center’s success.
