Get started
Genesys Cloud equips contact center agents with essential tools for managing customer interactions and daily operations. The platform enables agents to complete initial training through the Introduction to Genesys Cloud course, set up their profiles, configure phone settings, and manage presence status. Agents can select specific queues to work in, toggle their availability with On Queue/Off Queue controls, and handle incoming voice and digital interactions. The system provides real-time supervisor assistance functionality during active interactions. Performance monitoring features include evaluation reviews, historical performance metrics compared to team benchmarks, and queue activity tracking through dashboards. Agents can customize their profiles with names and images, manage personal settings for collaboration, and must properly log out at shift end. The platform supports both voice and web messaging capabilities while offering comprehensive performance tracking and evaluation tools.
