SAVE MONEY AND RESOURCES
Staffing Costs
Full-time, qualified QA positions represent significant on-going wage and benefit investments which ultimately must be paid for from budget allotments for on-floor positions.
Staff Retention
Replacing experienced staff is expensive. Studies show that good communication with employees and a goal-oriented work environment that includes frequent, balanced, and constructive evaluations, lead to longer staff tenure.
Assigning QA duties to a current staffer
At 15 minutes per call, the average communication center will lose 2,500 floor hours and expend significant budget dollars in overtime wages.
