Now obviously it wouldn’t make sense to maintain the required staff, office space, and equipment for the rest of the year outside of these independent scenarios. How, then, do you handle these precipitated yet temporary increases in call volumes, numbers of emails, and flooding chat requests? Do you have the capacity to train and coach temporary staff? And could you continue to deliver on your service level targets in an outstanding way?
