What is "Handle Time"?
Handle Time measures the amount of time an agent spends handling a single interaction with a customer, from the moment the customer initiates contact until the issue is resolved or the interaction is closed. It includes all the time the agent takes to look up information, research, and communicate with the customer. The primary goal is to ensure a high-quality customer experience while maximizing efficiency and minimizing unnecessary delays.
Example: Example: Agent A has an average handle time of 4 minutes for a customer ticket while Agent B has an average handle time of 10 minutes for the same ticket type.
