Is there any reason other than the obvious, why agents should log out at the end of there shift? As it is now, we have agents that stay logged in all the time. We are trying the reason codes through Symposium, sort of ok. It seems we have issues with agents in the morning trying to log into the phone set and cant.

Should we make them log off at night?

Is there any reason other than the obvious- Didn't you really answer your own question by starting the question like that?


And too, what type of errs are they recieving? Are they getting errors stating they're already logged in? To many agents have logged in? (since they'd esenssialy be doulbling the amount)

An agent can stay logged in forever - but why would you want to? This would wreck your Symposium metrics collection for reports.

As an example:

Agent A, 9am to 5pm.

The supervisors would use the reports to determine how many short calls the agent has, how long the agent was in different states (idle, Not Ready, etc).

So for Agent A, we're looking at a (2) 15 minutes breaks and an hour lunch. Total Not Ready time for that agent should be around 90 minutes on any given day. If the metrics show a lot more than that - then there may be a problem with that agent.

Not to mention that you're most likely experiencing a lot of Re-queues. Agent logged in - call presented and not answered - call requeued - agent placed in MSB or NRD.

ACD Reporting Question

Hee, hee, hey John consider yourself lucky that they stay logged in all of the time. My issue has always been that they are too lazy to log in to do something called work.
I have always asked that they log out at the end of their shift, and have usually passed this on to management, siteing that reports would be off, and possible HR issues could not be proven nor denied if they logged in all the time. The HR thing usually gets them, especially in a credit card call center environment.

Re: Going to the John....

If they stay logged in, there is the possibility that a customer call will be presented to the set and the agent is not there to service the customer.
