HOBOKEN, N.J., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that its Workforce Management (WFM) solution in the cloud has been selected by Fusion BPO to improve efficiency and empower increased employee performance. Fusion BPO, a multichannel and multilingual contact center services provider, will also leverage NICE's WFM solution to generate and allow employees to select schedules suited to their needs, enhancing employee engagement and driving higher levels of service to customers.
