We’ve redesigned our Team performance report to give you a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of performance for both individual teammates and the team's inbox. The metrics are curated specifically through the teammate and team lens, ensuring that only relevant data is considered.

Two new prebuilt reports

We've split our original Team performance report into two separate reports for more targeted insights.

  • Teammate performance: This report enables you to evaluate the performance metrics of each team member individually.

  • Team inbox performance: This report focuses on assessing how your team handles incoming issues within the team inbox.

The original Team performance report is not going away immediately. You can still access it via a link in the banner at the top of the new reports.

Teammate performance report

Filter selection

This new report features a dynamic teammate filter, allowing swift and easy selection of the individuals you wish to report on. All metrics will adjust automatically based on the chosen filter. For instance, when considering "conversations replied to", the report will narrow down to the number of unique conversations where the selected teammate responded to a customer within the specified date range.

Additionally, we've incorporated all available attributes for filtering within the report. This includes standard data, conversation data, people data, and company data.

Teammate responsiveness

We have updated the responsiveness metrics used in this report in order for you to better measure how quickly teammates are responding to issues, while also filtering out uncontrollable delays such as time spent in a bot inbox or a queue.

  • Teammate handling time: Measures the time a teammate spends actively working on an assigned conversation.

  • Teammate first response time: Measures the time it takes for a teammate to send the initial response to a customer after a conversation is assigned.

  • Teammate subsequent response time: Measures the time it takes for a teammate to send each subsequent reply to a customer after the first response.

  • Teammate time to close: Measures the time it takes for a teammate to close a conversation once it has been assigned to them.

Teammate productivity

We have added new productivity metrics to provide you with data to better gauge the overall output of your teammates, aiding in a more informed assessment of efficiency.

  • Conversations Assigned Per Active Hour: Measures the rate at which conversations are assigned to teammates per hour of active work.

  • Conversations Replied To Per Active Hour: Measures the rate at which teammates reply to conversations per hour of active work.

  • Conversations Closed Per Active Hour: Measures the rate at which teammates close conversations per hour of active work.

Teammate customer satisfaction

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of customer experiences, we've added a new section featuring two customer satisfaction metrics. These metrics enable you to gauge the quality of service provided by teammates.

  • CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Score): Measures the percentage of positively rated (4 or 5 ratings) conversations out of all the conversations rated.

  • Conversations rated: Measure the number of conversations rated by your customers broken down by the rating given.

Teammate performance overview

The teammate performance overview table provides a quick snapshot of each team member's key metrics in single view. It allows easy comparison of individual performances, highlighting standout contributors and areas needing improvement. We have added more key metrics to this table for a more comprehensive comparison.

  • Conversations Assigned: The number of unique conversations assigned to a teammate.

  • Conversations Replied to: The number of unique conversations where a teammate sent at least one reply.

  • Closed Conversations: The number of unique conversations closed by a teammate.

  • CSAT Score: The percentage of positively rated (4 or 5 ratings) conversations out of all the conversations rated.

  • SLA Miss Rate: The percentage of conversations where the Service Level Agreement (SLA) was not met while assigned to a teammate.

  • Teammate First Response Time: Tracks the time it takes for a teammate to send the initial response to a customer after a conversation is assigned.

  • Teammate Subsequent Response Time: Monitors the time it takes for a teammate to send each subsequent reply to a customer after the first response.

  • Teammate Time to Close: Measures the time it takes for a teammate to close a conversation once it has been assigned to them.

  • Teammate Handling Time: Measures the time a teammate spends actively working on an assigned conversation.

  • Replies Sent: The total number of teammate replies sent to customers.

  • Notes Created: The total number of internal notes created by a teammate.

  • Mentions: The number of teammate mentions on internal notes (comments).

  • Conversations Assigned Per Active Hour: Measures the rate at which conversations are assigned to teammates per hour of active work.

  • Conversations Replied To Per Active Hour: Measures the rate at which teammates reply to conversations per hour of active work.

  • Conversations Closed Per Active Hour: Measures the rate at which teammates close conversations per hour of active work.

Team inbox performance report

Filter selection

The new report introduces a team assigned filter, enabling quick and straightforward selection of the team inboxes you wish to evaluate. This reflects the team that was historically assigned to a conversation at the time of a particular action. For instance, "closed conversations" refers to the number of unique conversations where the selected team was assigned to the conversation at the time it was closed.

Additionally, we've incorporated all available attributes for filtering within the report. This includes standard data, conversation data, people data, and company data.

Team inbox responsiveness

The new team inbox responsiveness metrics enable you to more accurately gauge how swiftly a team responds to issues once they are assigned to their team inbox, excluding delays like time spent in a bot inbox or a queue.

  • Team First Response Time: Measures the time it takes to send an initial response to a customer after a conversation gets assigned to a team

  • Team Subsequent Response Time: Measures the it takes to respond to customers for every subsequent reply after a conversation is assigned to a team

  • Team Time to Close: Measures the time it takes to close a conversation after it gets assigned to a team

Team inbox volume

The team inbox volume metrics provide customers with a clear understanding of the workload for a specific inbox, tracking the number of conversations assigned, replied to, and closed. These insight aids in effective workload management and resource allocation.

  • Conversations Assigned: The number of unique conversations assigned to a team inbox.

  • Conversations Replied to: The number of unique conversations where a teammate sent at least one reply while the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

  • Closed Conversations: The number of unique conversations closed by a teammate while the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

Team inbox performance overview

The Team inbox performance overview table offers a concise summary of the key metrics for each team inbox in one consolidated view. This design facilitates easy comparison between team inboxes, pinpointing areas that are functioning well and those that require attention.

  • Conversations Assigned: The number of unique conversations assigned to a team inbox.

  • Conversations Replied to: The number of unique conversations where a teammate sent at least one reply while the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

  • Closed Conversations: The number of unique conversations closed by a teammate while the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

  • Team First Response Time: Measures the time it takes to send an initial response to a customer after a conversation gets assigned to a team.

  • Team Subsequent Response Time: Measures the it takes to respond to customers for every subsequent reply after a conversation is assigned to a team.

  • Team Time to Close: Measures the time it takes to close a conversation after it gets assigned to a team.

  • Replies Sent: The total number of teammate replies sent to customers for the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

  • Notes Created: The total number of internal notes created by a teammate while the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

  • Mentions: The number of teammate mentions on internal notes (comments) while the conversation was assigned to a team inbox.

FAQs

Q. What will happen to the old “team performance report"?

A. The “Team Performance” Report will still be accessible via a link in the banner of the new reports. There is no set date as to when this report will be deprecated as of yet. The longer term plan will be to remove it as a pre-built report option but allow you to recreate it exactly as is from a Custom Report. If you would like to keep this report in your side navigation, then you can still add it to my favourites feature.

Q. Why are the responsiveness metrics in the new report showing different values to the responsiveness metrics in the old report?

A. The two reports use two completely different sets of responsiveness metrics:

  • The old report uses:

    1. First Response Time

    2. Response Time

    3. Time to Close

  • The new reports use

    1. Teammate/Team first response time

    2. Teammate/team subsequent response time

    3. Teammate/team time to close

Q. How are these metrics different?

A. The two sets of metrics differ as they use a different timestamp for the starting point of the calculation.

Example:

  • First Response Time is calculated from the moment an end user sends their initial message to when a teammate replies for the first time.

  • Teammate First Response Time, on the other hand, is measured from the assignment of the conversation to a teammate to their first response.

A. They also differ as they use a different timestamp to determine which conversations get included in the data range of the chart

Example:

  • First Response Time will include all conversations that were started within he date range selected in the report

  • Teammate First Response Time will include all the conversations that had the first reply within the date range selected in the report.

Q. Why can’t I find the “bot include/exclude” filter in the new reports?

A. Bot inclusion/exclusion has now become a characteristic of time based metrics themselves, rather than a distinct filter. Additionally, as highlighted in the previous explanation regarding the distinction of metrics, all metrics in the new reports automatically exclude bot time by default.

Q. Why doesn't the summary row value add up to the sum of all the rows?

A. The 'Summary' row is a roll-up of key metrics, recalculated at an aggregate level. It is not a sum or average of the values in the table. This approach ensures the most accurate and relevant insights for overall performance. Take, for instance, the 'Conversations Assigned' metric, which represents the count of unique conversations assigned. The summary row displays the total number of unique conversations assigned over the specified date range, following the metric's definition. If it was to sum up the values in the rows below it, then it would most likely have a higher count as a single conversation might be assigned to multiple teammates.

Q. How are the conversations per active hour metrics calculated?

A. These metrics, such as "Conversations closed per active hour" and "Conversations assigned per active hour", are calculated by dividing specific actions performed on conversations by the time teammates are actively engaged. "Per active hour" metrics are determined by the following formula: Metric value = Number of specific actions performed/hours spent in active status. More info can be found here
