- Measurable Metrics:
o Target number of chats audited per agent per month.
o Quality Assurance (QA) score percentage.
o Fatal error rate (e.g., sharing incorrect information or violating privacy policies).
2. Feedback, Coaching & Training
- Focus Area: Conducting regular 1-on-1 feedback sessions with chat agents to discuss audit results, celebrate strengths, and provide actionable tips for improvement.
- Measurable Metrics:
o Average feedback hours per agent.

o Agent satisfaction (ASAT) or feedback acknowledgment scores.
3. Process Adherence & Compliance
- Focus Area: Ensuring chat agents follow strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), data security protocols, and compliance guidelines.
- Measurable Metrics:

o Calibration Variance Score (how closely the QA’s grading aligns with Operations Leaders).
o Number of process improvements or macro/script updates recommended and implemented.
