Metrics that Matter: Measuring Quality Assurance Effectiveness

To make the QA function successful in any contact center, we need to monitor the right metrics reflecting both the performance of our team and customer satisfaction. These metrics will identify how far we have been able to meet customer needs and improve our service quality.

• KPIs, like First Call Resolution (FCR), show how effectively we resolve issues at the first call. If we can fix a customer's problem first off, it says much about the effectiveness of our training, our processes, and the service in general.
• Secondly, but just as important, is Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) scores, where we get direct feedback from our customers. It is probably one of the most honest barometers of the quality of the service we provide, because it's one of the most genuine ways to measure how well we're meeting their expectations.
• And lastly, Net Promoter Score (NPS) shows the likelihood for customers to recommend our service to others. It's a powerful way to create long-term customer loyalty.

But not all-QA is about continuous improvement; regularly, we review these KPIs in search of patterns and further opportunities to enhance our service.
