2. ***First Center Resolution*** – The percentage of calls that the agent completely addresses the customer’s needs without having to transfer them or call them back.
3. ***Average Abandonment Rate*** – The percentage of customers who hang up before reaching an agent.
4. ***Average After Call Work Time*** – The time an agent spends completing a transaction after the caller has disengaged.
5. ***Average Handle Time*** – The elapsed time from when an agent answers a call until the agent disconnects.
6. ***Employment Turnover Rate*** – The percentage of agents who leave the call center to work elsewhere.
