Agent Performance

Last Updated : Sep 10, 2024 |

Definition

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

How it works

Tracks how agents handle interactions delivered to them for the selected duration.

For reports based on interval data, supervisors can view how the agents handle interactions delivered to them for a selected interval. Intervals are aggregated by 15 minutes and can be selected for a scheduled duration. Data displayed is listed at the agent level and is written to the database every 15 minutes. For the reports based on daily and monthly roll-up data, the data is written to the database the next day and the next month, respectively.

Business usage

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

  • How many interactions were offered to an agent, and how many 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. The Answered and Not Answered measures display the number of responses by an agent to the interactions offered to the agent within the reporting period.

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

    Use the Completed measure to determine the number of interactions that the agent handled.

    Use the Active Time measure to determine the active duration an 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 puts on hold for the selected duration. To get the duration that the agent put a contact on hold within the scheduled duration, use the Hold Time measure. The report displays the duration in the dd:hh:mm:ss format. The Average Hold Time measure displays the average duration for which the agents put the interactions on hold in 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 the count of transfers the agent successfully handles, see the number displayed in theTransfer Accepted From Queue column.

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

    Compare the Active Time measure with the Alert Time measure to determine the time an agent spends in the active state with alert time. The Alert Time measure is when the agent receives alerts for offered interactions 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.

  • How do you compare an agent's performance for the current duration with other similar time durations?

    Compare the number of interactions that are offered and completed and answered with escalations with similar time durations to determine the agent’s performance.

  • How to determine the improvement in the performance of an agent?

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

  • How can you view an agent's performance at a glance for the selected durations?

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

  • What are the columns available in the standard report?

    For the list of available columns, see the following table:
