Overview
Agents should be on a call or waiting for a call for at least 85% of the time they are logged into ADP each day.
Dispositioning calls should usually only take 30 seconds but should not take more than 1 minute on average.
Breakdown & Expectations
15% of a standard 8-hour shift = 72 minutes.
72 minutes minus 30 minutes of scheduled break time = 42 minutes.
This means there are 42 minutes of buffer time per shift after scheduled breaks to absorb offline, coachings, one-on-ones, disposition, team huddles, system issues, equipment issues, etc.
If an agent believes he/she is unable to meet the 85% expectation for reasons beyond his/her control, the agent is responsible to communicate to management and substantiate via screenshots, etc.
If you have tech issues, refer to our Tech Issues speed sheets and complete the Tech Issues Form as instructed in the speed sheets
If ADP is logged 5 min before toggling online in the Dialer and the agent goes offline 15 min before punching out of ADP to avoid end of shift call, then 20 min have already been depleted.
Additional 5 min increments of offline time throughout the shift for not paying attention or taking additional breaks will quickly deplete the 42 min.
If you are also pulled for coachings, 1:1s, team huddles, etc, then you will fall short of the day’s 85% expectation
Following this process will substantiate tech issue to ensure you are not penalized, should you fall short of 85% due to issues beyond your control
Do Not place yourself in an unproductive status toward end of shift for the sake of avoiding calls which may cause your shift to run long. This impacts productive time and is a form of call avoidance
