This topic is part of the manual PureConnect Use Cases for version Current of Genesys Use Cases.

Improve employee performance with quality management

What's the challenge?

Businesses need to evaluate the quality of their interactions to identify opportunities for improvement, but it’s not efficient to evaluate every single interaction. You need a way to distinguish important from routine interactions, and then generate the results in a consistent and automated manner.

What's the solution?

Genesys Quality Management includes strategic metadata with each recorded interaction to pinpoint which are most valuable to evaluate, and then uses predefined reports to analyze and present those results for a clear and consistent view of where you’re strong and where you could improve.

Set up Users: The IT Administrator sets up user roles and a related set of permissions. Standard users include:
- Admin
- Form Designer
- Evaluation Planner
- Evaluation Reviewer
- Supervisor
Setup up questionnaire directories by assigning
- Role-based access rights for questionnaire directory access.
- Additional metadata configuration (relevant to QM).
- Initiation and retention policies criteria and actions to auto-assign questionnaire scorecards to recordings and scoring users.
Setup the questionnaire directory and questionnaire: From within IC Business Manager, use the Quality Manager views to create and save a Questionnaire with the following:

Evaluation/calibration planning: The evaluation planner plans review sessions for CC sites, groups or individual agents. The planner decides how to configure Interaction Recorder initiation and retention policies to auto-assign questionnaire scorecards based on incoming recorded interactions. Questionnaire scorecards may also be manually assigned to recorded interactions from within IC Business Manager, based on other interaction criteria or recording attributes. Details tasks:
- Attach questionnaire scorecard forms to recorded interaction
- Assign evaluators (scoring users)
Complete assigned questionnaire scorecard: The evaluation planner/supervisor conducts reviews of the appropriate teams and gives feedback and insight into how many reviews need to take place, what has been done, and what is in progress or still pending. Detailed actions:
- Select a recording.
- Play back the selected recording.
- Score a recording with the auto-assigned questionnaire scorecard.
- Score a recording with a manually assigned questionnaire scorecard.

- Run an instance of a selected Quality Management report.
- Run a calibration report for completed scorecards that were marked for calibration.
Supervisor reviews scorecards with agents: The supervisor pushes a report to the agent to provide feedback. The agent is informed about their performance.
- Agents review their recently completed scorecards.
- Agents acknowledge and provide comments (sign-off) for completed scorecards that require action.

Business and Distribution Logic

Business Logic

Quality Manager

Create and manage forms (questionnaires) that enable evaluators to provide feedback about a specific agent. That is, when a form is included in an evaluation, it becomes part of a process that helps you identify how an agent is functioning, and subsequently what the agent needs to do in order to maximize your business goals and customer satisfaction.Quality Management evaluations are the best way to evaluate and improve agent behaviors that support your business goals. They drive the behaviors that promote a specific agenda by enabling you to assess how well your agents are performing during customer interactions.

Interaction Recorder

To help ensure that an agent's participation in an interaction coincides with a specific business agenda, evaluators receive a list of evaluation sessions that they must fill out using scorecards according to a configurable schedule. A completed scorecard provides a view into how an agent communicates with consumers. Such evaluation sessions provide consistent and regular feedback that helps surface insightful reports, comments and suggestions that can lead to formal skills training and action plans to improve an agent's performance.

Interaction Reporter

Reports are summaries and analyses of interaction, speech and external metadata. You can generate reports for analysis, view report details and status, and share the data with users throughout the enterprise. You can view reports in your browser, print them or send them via email. To help you monitor your business, IC Business Manager provides a wide range of standard reports that can be customized to better suit your needs. Depending on the type of report, the results may be presented as lists or data and/or in graphic form.
