What is changing?

Staffing forecast calculations and results are now rounded to one decimal place.

Why is Zendesk making this change?

This update helps prevent overestimations caused by rounding up whole numbers, especially when inbound volume is low.

What do I need to do?

No immediate action is required. This improvement will be available automatically in your account. However, this update does not apply automatically to previously generated staffing forecasts. Forecasts are calculated and displayed with one decimal place only when recalculated starting November 19, 2025. To learn more, see Understanding required staffing.
