Agent Performance By Channel

Last Updated : Sep 10, 2024 |

Definition

Displays the performance and productivity of an agent by channels for the selected duration.

How it works

Tracks how agents handle interactions delivered to them for the scheduled duration. Supervisors can use this report to monitor when an agent has multiple interactions waiting to be answered. Events are captured in the report for a selected duration when an incoming contact creates alerts for an agent for interactions waiting to be answered.

For intervals-based reports, the report displays the data at the agent level and writes to the database every 15 minutes. For the daily and monthly reports, the report aggregates the data on the next day and the next month, respectively.

For current day reports, run the reports from the Interval folder.

For current month reports, run the reports from the Daily folder.

How does the report help the supervisor of a contact center?

This report helps the supervisor understand how the agents are performing and the skill set of an agent for handling interactions.

Business usage

Monitor and compare the performance of each agent by channel for the selected duration to view how the agents use their time. This report provides answers to some key questions, such as:

  • How many interactions were offered to an agent, and how many interactions were completed for the selected duration?

    Use the Offered measure to determine the number of interactions directed toward the agent for the selected duration. Use the Completed measure to determine the number of completed interactions.

  • How many interactions did an agent handle for the selected duration, and what is the duration for which the agent handled each contact?

    Use the Completed measure to determine the number of interactions that the agent handled. The Answered and Not Answered measures display the number of responses for interactions offered to the agents within the reporting period.

    Use the Active Time measure to determine the active duration that the agent spends to handle the interactions.

  • How many interactions did an agent put on hold for the selected duration?

    Use the Hold measure to determine the number of interactions the agent places on hold for the selected duration. Use the Hold Time measure to get the duration for which the agent put a contact on hold within the scheduled duration. The report displays the duration in the dd:hh:mm:ss format.

  • How many interactions did an agent transfer to the queue for the selected duration?

    Use the Transfer Initiated to Queue column to see the count of transfer attempts that the agent initiates. For a count of transfers that the agent successfully handles, see the number displayed in the Transfer Accepted From Queue column.

  • How do you compare an agent's active time and alert time for the selected duration?

    To compare the Active Time and the Alert Time measures, check the time an agent spends in an active state compared to alert time. The Alert Time measure is the time the agent receives alerts for interactions offered within the reporting duration.

  • How can you determine the number of abandoned contacts before an agent answers the interaction?

    You can use the Abandoned from Alerting column to count the contacts the customer abandons after offering and before the agent answers them.

  • Is there an improvement in the performance of the agent?

    Compare the agent’s performance in the current duration with data derived from other durations to see if the performance of the agent is improving.

  • How can you view the agent’s performance for the selected duration at a glance?

    See the Total field for all the measures in the report's table.
