Add-on Workforce Management (WFM) or Workforce Engagement Management (WEM)

Teams in Zendesk Workforce management (WFM) are a way for you to manage your roster and are part of your organization structure. You can create multiple teams and assign agents and managers to them. Managers of teams are responsible for receiving and responding to agents' time off and shift trades requests, as well as any other requests that might come up.

You must be a WFM admin or in a role with organization structure permission to set up teams.
