Abstract: Techniques for workforce management in a task assignment system are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for workforce management in a task assignment system comprising: determining, by at least one computer processor configured to operate in the task assignment system, a first efficiency level of a first task assignment strategy for a first number of agents to be employed in the task assignment system; determining, by the at least one computer processor, a second efficiency level of a second task assignment strategy for a second number of agents to be employed in the task assignment system; comparing, by the at least one computer processor, the first and second efficiency levels; and selecting, by the at least one computer processor, one of the first and second numbers of agents having the higher of the first and second efficiency levels.

Abstract: Techniques for behavioral pairing in a task assignment system are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for behavioral pairing in a task assignment system comprising: determining, by at least one computer processor communicatively coupled to and configured to operate in the task assignment system, an expected loss of each of a plurality of tasks; determining, by the at least one computer processor, an agent available for assignment to any of the plurality of tasks; and assigning, by the at least one computer processor, a task of the plurality of tasks to the agent using a task assignment strategy based on the expected loss of the task.
