If you’re running a call center, tracking the right metrics is critical for success. Call center metrics help you measure performance, identify areas for improvement, and optimize your operations. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the top call center metrics and KPI benchmarks that you should be tracking.
One of the most important call center metrics is average handling time (AHT). AHT measures the amount of time it takes for a call center agent to handle a customer call, including hold time and after-call work. A low AHT is typically indicative of efficient call center operations, but it’s essential to balance efficiency with quality customer service.
Another critical call center metric is first call resolution (FCR). FCR measures the percentage of calls that are resolved on the first call, without the need for follow-up calls or escalation. A high FCR rate is indicative of efficient and effective call handling, which can help boost customer satisfaction levels.
Customer satisfaction (CSAT) is another essential call center metric to track. CSAT measures the level of satisfaction that customers have with the service they received from your call center. By tracking CSAT scores, you can identify areas for improvement and optimize your operations to improve customer satisfaction.
Other key call center metrics include abandonment rate, occupancy rate, and service level. Abandonment rate measures the percentage of calls that are abandoned before they can be answered. Occupancy rate measures the percentage of time that agents are actively handling calls. Service level measures the percentage of calls that are answered within a certain timeframe, such as 20 seconds.
By tracking these call center metrics and KPI benchmarks, you can gain valuable insights into your call center operations and make data-driven decisions to improve performance and boost customer satisfaction.
