Average Handling Time - AHT Average handle time (AHT) is a calling metrics for the average duration of one transaction, typically measured from the customer's initiation of the call and including any hold time, talk time and related tasks that follow the transaction. AHT is a prime factor when deciding call centre staffing levels Average HandlingTime (AHT) is a key measure for anyTele Sales planning system, as it tells you how long a new item of work takes to be handled, and not just the talk time. In essence, it tells you how much time a Recruiter spends working on a task and when they are unable to deal with a new work item.
- 3. Formula.. The formula for calculating AHT is as follows: AverageHandlingTime=(TotalTalkTime+TotalH oldTime+TotalWrapTime) ----------------------Divided By----------------------- ----- NumberOfCallsHandledWrap-up time may also be known asWrapTime or After-CallWork time. Wrap-up time may also be known asWrapTime or After-CallWork time.
- 4. Case All of the following data can be pulled from the c Automated Call Distribution (ACD) system or, failing this, can be gathered from Call Detail Records (CDRs) OR Manually keep a track. Average HandlingTime is Different from Average Call Duration Ring time and queue time are not usually included in AHT, as these are not related to the period of time that an advisor spends on a call.They are normally included in Average Call Duration.
- 5. Total Talk Time: 7 days + 17 hours + 36 minutes + 45 seconds = 668,205 seconds Total Hold Time: 1 day, 3 hours + 32 minutes + 33 seconds = 99, 153 seconds Total Wrap Time: 2 days, 7 hours +5 minutes + 6 seconds = 198,306 seconds Number of Calls Handled: 4311 calls
- 6. Wrap-up time should only be used for time related to the particular call. However, some advisors will use this to stop taking the next call, and it is frequently misused for toilet, coffee or cigarette breaks, or for chatting between calls. Gather all information at the start of the call encourage Recruiters to gather as much information as possible at the start of the call.

Call monitoring can have a big impact, especially with new recruiters, as they can learn effective time management from the outset. Create cheat sheets to help streamline call-handling processes Information on repeated questions `Collate frequently asked questions and share good answers within teams. Create friendlier forms Create more user-friendly service request forms for every scenario with a specific service. This gives a more consistent approach for the customer.
- 7. Allow the agents to control the call, Put in place a structured call opening, allowing the agent to control the call from the outset. This is called a call structure, a vision of the call flow, which in turn gets the agent to think about system navigation. Produce a set of troubleshooting questions, Design a structured question/flow for the agents so they have a set of questions to ask the users and troubleshoot accordingly rather than coming up with their own set of questions. Share agent best practice Encourage your top agents with the best call control to share their experiences/strategies with colleagues in team briefings. Personality profiles to allow you to understand if they are extrovert/introvert, analytical. Create a good opening question, reducing the AHT is to create a good opening question to have control of the conversation directly from the start, you can take control over the conversation.
