FCR rates range from 70-90% in the telecommunications industry to as low as 45% in the healthcare industry.
First Call Resolution (FCR) is a metric used in call centers to measure the ability of an agent to resolve a customer's issue during their first interaction with the customer without requiring the customer to follow up or call back again.
FCR is an important measure of customer satisfaction and operational efficiency in call centers. It indicates the effectiveness of the agent's communication and problem-solving skills and the quality of training, tools, and processes. Improving FCR can lead to higher customer satisfaction, lower costs, and increased productivity for call centers.
Here are some ways to improve First Call Resolution (FCR) in call centers:
Agents need to be equipped with the right skills, knowledge, and tools to address customer issues effectively.
Routing calls to the most qualified agent or team based on customer needs can help reduce transfer rates and improve FCR.
Having access to customer history and preferences can help agents understand the customer's needs and provide personalized solutions.
Providing customers with self-service options, such as chatbots or knowledge bases, can help resolve simpler issues quickly, freeing up agents to handle more complex issues.
Tracking FCR performance and identifying areas for improvement can help call centers implement targeted solutions and measure their effectiveness.
Regular feedback and coaching sessions can help agents improve their communication and problem-solving skills, leading to higher FCR rates.
Continuously evaluating and improving processes, tools, and training can help call centers stay ahead of changing customer needs and expectations and maintain high FCR rates.
The First Call Resolution (FCR) rate is calculated using the following formula:
FCR Rate = (Total number of calls resolved on the first contact / Total number of calls received) x 100
For example, if a call center received 1,000 calls in a day and resolved 800 of those calls on the first contact, the FCR rate would be:
FCR Rate = (800 / 1,000) x 100 = 80%
This means that 80% of the calls were resolved on the first contact, while the remaining 20% required additional contacts with the call center to resolve the issue.
That was all about first call resolution. WANT TO KNOW MORE?
