A communications handler manages incoming communications of different channel types and determines an appropriate contact center agent to receive the communication, based on which communication type and the number of sessions for each type, that an agent can handle. The performance of the agent handling the various communication sessions across the channel types is measure and monitored. If the agent's performance crosses a threshold indicating an unacceptable decrease in performance, a channel type/session may be de-assigned in order to improve the agent's performance. If the agent's performance is stellar and allows, then a further channel type or communication session of a channel type may be added. Various graphical user indications for managing the channel type performance and de-assignment are presented.
