A study by the International Customer Management Institute (ICMI) highlights the financial impact of inefficiencies. Their 2023 study found that reducing averagehandletime (AHT) by just one second per call can save the average large contact center up to $1 million annually.
Human behavior When they first told me about this, I knew from studying human behavior in contact centers for years that it would not work. To make matters worse, the agent’s averagehandletime goes up because the agent is discouraged and types or talks slower. It drives leaders to just manage tasks. The agent agrees.
One of the other findings of the AX study was the level of stress this provokes in agents, particularly newer agents, who represent an increasing percentage of the workforce in this high-turnover era. Consider a knowledge management {KM} system that reduces your AverageHandleTime metric from 5 minutes to 4.5
This functionality can greatly reduce averagehandletimes (AHT) by accessing suggest responses and solutions to customer queries faster than humanly possible. This not only saves time but enables CSRs to handle more interactions with efficiency. This technology is more than a complex web of pre-written prompts.
