Overview

250 contact centers share best practices in operations, management and business processes - how does your center compare?  Learn what is working, what is not working and what changes others are making to improve the performance of their contact centers.

This year's reports contain data from our most comprehensive benchmarking study to date.  Results are divided into three distinct reports: Benchmarks in Call Center Operations, How to be a Great Call Center Manager and Improving Call Center Business Processes.  Each section may be purchased individually or as a package.  Reports are delivered electronically within one business day, many times within the hour.

Participants answered more than 200 questions to provide over 130 total pages of management insights. Topics include:

  • top KPIs and performance by industry
  • performance objectives and current results
  • improvement initiatives and changes with the greatest impacts
  • key factors that motivate agents
  • "must-do" and "must-not-do" items for supervisors
  • top quality monitoring programs
  • cost data including average wages from each region

The latest editions of Centerserve's Call Center Best Practices Benchmarking Reports present comprehensive findings from four studies over the past eight years. The reports detail what is working (and what is not working) and what contact centers are doing differently in management, operations and processes. The reports provide quick, actionable steps for call center managers seeking to increase revenues, reduce costs and improve service quality.

Participants from over 50 countries and a variety of industries (including electronics and communications, health care, financial services, utilities, insurance, consumer goods, banking, government, education, manufacturing, services and hospitality) contributed to the study. The results of the study are presented in three benchmarking reports: Best Practices in Operations, Best Practices in Management and Best Practices in Business Processes.  A consolidated table of contents for each report can be seen below.
