How Does Quality Assurance (QA) Work?
Quality Assurance (QA) within contact centers revolves around two key aspects: customer experience and employee satisfaction. It involves monitoring all customer interactions and setting benchmarks to assess service quality. Additionally, it concentrates on evaluating agent satisfaction and performance in the workplace. The various metrics measured encompass call monitoring, call drops, call duration and resolution times, daily agent performance, call volume handled by agents, adherence to schedules, and shifts, among others.
What are the Functions of QA in Contact Centers?
Quality is fundamental to business and growth, and its importance is evident in its direct influence on baselines and revenues. Surveys and business experiences consistently highlight that companies with superior QA practices tend to have increased customer satisfaction and revenue growth.
Now, let’s delve into several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that hold relevance for a Contact Center from a QA standpoint.
Quality Assurance — Management Dashboard
QA metrics are typically measured over specific time periods rather than in real-time. These metrics can be categorized into Overall Metrics and Agent Performance level Metrics.
Count of Evaluations:
Contact center agents receive periodic surveys about their work experiences and daily tasks. These evaluations gauge the frequency of feedback gathered at the contact center and provide insights into agents’ perspectives on the impact of the Contact Center and Leadership’s policies on their daily activities.
Count of Reviewers:
Surveys conducted under organizational leadership are assessed by assigned reviewers responsible for interpreting the results. Reviewers evaluate agents’ survey responses, enabling the business to take necessary actions based on the evaluations.
Average Score:
Reviewers assess agents’ survey responses by scoring them, allowing for quantifiable insights into agents’ responses and work performance.
Average Score by Timeframe:
Monitoring historical scores from periodic surveys helps Contact Centers track trends in improvements or concerns regarding agent work quality and satisfaction levels.
CSAT Trend:
Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) scores reflect the rate of positive experiences customers have during their interactions with the business. Tracking the Customer Satisfaction Trend provides ratings of customers’ satisfaction over specific periods, forming the foundation for understanding the success or challenges within the Contact Centre.
Satisfaction Score by Agent:
Collating and measuring customer feedback for interactions with agents generates satisfaction scores at each agent level. This helps identify top-performing agents and those who may require attention for enhancing overall customer experiences.
