Monitoring

Thru the years Cogent Exchange has developed a reputation of providing quality services to its clients and partners. These quality standards are managed and directed by our highly trained department of quality monitors, evaluators and auditors.

Our core business has always been providing secure quality services thru loans and financial institutions. These same high quality standards have been carried thru the company as additional outsourced services have been supplied.

Quality monitoring allows us to observe an agent’s phone calls, emails and web chats and evaluate these against our pre-defined quality standards.

The quality monitoring lifecycle is about a process of continual improvements and involves the following steps:
  • The lifecycle begins during hiring and training, when a prospective agent’s performance is monitored and evaluated to identify weaknesses and skills gap.
  • After training is successfully completed, the agent begins handling customer interactions and is monitored regurarly to identify issues and performance gaps. Distinguish between deficient agent performance and deficiencies in the elements being evaluated or in the service process..
  • Evaluate agent performance against established standards and for any performance that merits action, note record and refer to the responsible component (HR, QA, Training, etc.). Ensure the agent gets both positive and negative feedback to improve their performance. Provide on going training and coaching. repeat this process continuously throughtout the agent’s tenure..
  • Process and system improvement issues, as well as needed training curriculum revisions, are often identified through monitoring sessions. These issues are fed back to the responsible component for action..
