Intradiem, the leading provider of contact centre automation solutions, is introducing the first AI-powered technology solution to quantify agent “burnout” and predict the risk of attrition at the agent level.
Currently, the solution predicts churn accurately 80% of the time, but with refinements and model training in progress, that’s expected to increase to 90% or more by 2024.
Rigid schedules, repetitive work, and regular hostility from frustrated callers make a call centre agent’s job notoriously stressful. That fuels chronic attrition, which in turn drives costs high and undercuts a customer’s consistent brand experience. It’s estimated that agent attrition averages 40-70% annually, with some organizations turning over their entire agent population each year. And, replacing a single agent can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000.
“Agent attrition is always a pressing issue for contact centre leaders. It’s costly to find, hire, and train agents, and a lack of experienced employees can negatively impact customer,” said Robin Gareiss, CEO and Principal Analyst at Metrigy, a research firm specializing in customer and employee engagement. “Intradiem’s solution helps to retain what are among the most valuable employees companies have–those who know the customer. By using Intradiem to identify agents who are at risk of leaving the company and immediately taking actions to remediate, companies will save money and enjoy happier agents.”
Using its vast real time contact centre data, Intradiem’s AI model measures the data against expectations or past performance in real-time and designates each agent’s burnout risk assessment on its dashboard. Once an agent is identified as an attrition risk, the tool alerts a supervisor and provides recommendations to reduce the risk of them resigning. These recommendations range from initiating conversations to deploying additional training, coaching, surprise wellness breaks, or other actions, many of which can be automatically scheduled or delivered through Intradiem.
“With Intradiem’s extensive amount of real-time data and our talented team of developers and industry experts, we can bring powerful AI solutions to contact centres’ most critical and enduring challenges,” said Intradiem CEO Matt McConnell. “This is a genuine breakthrough with benefits that will ripple through the entire customer service delivery chain, from agents to operations to customers.”
