Fundamentals of Quality Monitoring Web Seminar Series 2020
Essentials of Quality Form Design: Identify Relevant and Objective Call Standards
Creating a comprehensive quality monitoring form entails getting the right people in your call center to collaborate and construct standards to effectively evaluate your frontline agents’ call performance. This session provides an overview of what to expect in a quality form design process. In addition, you will learn to identify objective behavior-based quality attributes to establish a solid foundation for your call center’s quality monitoring program.

What’s the Point: Principles of Quality Form Weighting and Scoring
Once you’ve determined the essential call behaviors, the next step is to construct a scoring scheme that awards points for performance achievement. While all of your quality standards are important, some will stand out as being mission critical and therefore deserving of higher point values to ensure your agents are focused on these, in particular. In this session, you will learn a prioritizing methodology to identify relative importance you’ll use to create an effective scoring scheme for measuring quality and motivating your agents.

Developing Your QSDD: The Quality Standards Definitions Document
Now that your quality evaluation form has taken shape, the call standards have been identified and organized into skill groups and a scoring structure has been applied, the next step is to develop comprehensive Quality Standard Definitions Document (QSDD). This session offers a template that includes all the QSDD essentials: descriptions of desirable and undesirable behaviors, related scenarios and associated center goals. In addition, we will look at sample definitions of the more challenging quality standards: tone, empathy and call control.

Call Calibration: The Path to Consistency in Quality Monitoring
Call calibration is a process whereby quality analysts and supervisors evaluate a single call, measure the variance and reconcile the differences. Call centers who are well calibrated experience greater overall consistency in quality and service to their customers. In this session, you will learn the six key decision points for creating an effective calibration program, how to measure your calibration efforts, as well as the best practices for conducting productive calibration sessions.
