RESOURCES
& RESEARCH

A curated, vetted library of free white papers, research reports, PDF guides, and best-practice resources on workforce management — handpicked from leading global publishers, vendor research, and industry bodies.

This library brings together the most useful free workforce-management research we have found, in one place — practitioner white papers, vendor research, academic papers and best-practice guides from ICMI, NICE, Genesys, Calabrio, Aspect, SWPP, McKinsey, Deloitte, Call Centre Helper and others. It spans the full WFM discipline: demand forecasting and Erlang staffing, shift and break scheduling, real-time adherence and intraday management, shrinkage and occupancy, service-level measurement, workforce optimisation, and the growing role of AI in scheduling. Every entry links straight to the publisher’s original — nothing here is gated, hosted or resold — and the list is reviewed and extended as new material worth reading appears. It is the same reference shelf we draw on in our own WFM advisory work.

How to use this page: Click either section below to browse resources. Use the category chips to narrow down by topic. Every link opens in a new tab on the publisher's website — we don't host any of these materials, we simply curate the best.
