What is a Quality Management Form?
A quality management form is a set of questions used by evaluators to evaluate the performance of agents during interaction handling and identify areas for improvement. Quality forms not only serve as a measurement of success in evaluation, but also provide a roadmap for agents on the critical components of a good customer interaction.
When creating a quality form, use a ‘clean slate’ approach to quality form design by ensuring that all components pass the assessment test by asking yourself if the questions:
- Support the strategic vision?
- Provide actionable and objective metrics and coaching points (SMART goals)?
- Drive positive business and customer satisfaction change?
In quality form creation, less is more. Home in on those questions that are most critical to the business and the customer experience. Don’t have questions for the sake of having questions; you want to ensure there is business value to each question. When creating each question, ask yourself, “Why does this matter?”. If you struggle to articulate a good answer, take it off the form. Also, while assessing your agent process is important, ensure that you strike a balance between operational-type questions and more qualitative questions that assess soft-skills like emotional intelligence and empathy, etc.
