Can You measure It?!

As a manager, your job is to improve performance, manage the business etc. (we won’t bore you with all the details – you know this already). However, to manage you need to measure and so if you manage a contact center but have few measures, take some time out of your schedule and write down everything you are responsible for and come up with a corresponding list of measuring it. For example, if you are responsible for service level, you probably already measure it through your ACD reporting package. If you are responsible for motivation – do you measure it? Make sure you can measure every aspect of your responsibilities and then apply this to your staff so they know how they are being measured.
