The performance insights page in OI has three different approaches you can take to understand performance for your contact center.


Approach one: view performance by customer inquiry type

All inquiries performance by effort and metric

This chart shows a breakdown of your top customer inquiries by the amount of hours spent handling each one.

  • The larger the box on this chart, the more time your team is spending on the inquiry.

  • The darker the color of the box indicates a higher score for the metric selected.

Apply filters

  • Select the date range you are interested in viewing data for using the brush chart at the top of the page

  • Using the filters in the left hand side menu select the options you are interested in understanding performance for - all are optional:

    • Model

    • Queue

    • Organization structure (example: site, department or team)

    • Metric (example: handle time, resolution, sentiment)

    • Agents (use if you are interested in viewing data for only one or a few agents)

  • See more information about using filters in OI here.

Click into an inquiry you are interested in viewing performance for.

Single inquiry performance

This chart lists the agents in your organization in order of performance for the inquiry and metric you have selected.

You can use the toggle at the top right hand corner of this chart to view performance by team or site/department (toggle will vary based on your organization's structure).

Use filters to change the metric if desired.

Click on the bar for an agent to view the agent’s performance profile.

Agent profile

This page will show you a detailed breakdown of performance for the selected agent.

Agent performance overall

The first panel on the agent profile page shows you the selected agent’s performance compared to all agents in your organization for the selected date range.

Click on any of the metrics displayed to view the performance for any other metric available.

Volume handled by agent

This chart shows you the inquiries handled by the selected agent in the selected date range in order of volume.

Click on an inquiry in the agent performance by volume chart to add a second tab to the top performance panel showing performance for the selected inquiry.

Agent's metrics over time

This chart shows how the selected agents' performance is tracking over time.

You can use the toggle at the top right hand corner of this chart to view performance by month or week.

Click on the metrics for the right Y: axis to change the metric being tracked.

  • You can select up to two metrics at a time.

Inquiry impact on metric

This chart shows the impact an interaction type (inquiry) has on driving up or down performance metrics for the selected agent. You could think of this as showing what the average performance for this agent would be if this demand driver didn't exist.

To use:

  • Select a metric you want to focus on (default is Average Handle Time, you can change this using the metrics filter)

  • The chart will show the inquiries most impacting this metric, factoring in performance and the volume of the inquiry handled by the agent.

  • Note: if you have any inquiry filters applied, only those included in the filter will show on this chart.

Example

In the screenshot shown below, the metric selected is Average Handle Time (AHT) and the tooltip shows stats for the inquiry "Order tracking issue":

  • Handle time for this inquiry: 936 seconds

  • Handle time for all inquiries: 708 seconds

  • Impact of this inquiry on Avg Handle time: +10.51 seconds

This inquiry has an AHT 228 seconds higher than the agent's overall AHT. Considering the proportion of interactions handled by this agent which have this classification, this inquiry alone increases the agent's overall AHT by 10.51 seconds.

In other words: this would be a great call type to focus on for coaching or technical training. If the agent could bring down their AHT for this inquiry alone, this could really help reduce their overall AHT.


Approach two: View performance across all agents

Agent performance by metric

This chart shows a list of all agents in your organization ranked by performance for the selected metric.

Hover over a bar to view more information about particular agent, including:

  • Their score for the selected metric

Apply filters

    • Model

    • Queue

    • Organization structure (example: site, department or team)

    • Metric (example: handle time, resolution, sentiment)

    • Agents (use if you are interested in viewing data for only one or a few agents)

    • Root cause

Approach three: View performance by which root cause takes up the most time for your agents

Root cause opportunity by effort and metric

This chart shows a breakdown of your top root causes of customer contact by the amount of hours spent handling each one, split by site (or department depending on your organization structure).

  • The larger the box on this chart, the more time your team is spending handling interactions within the root cause.
