Quality assurance (QA)

Quality Assurance (QA) refers to the systematic process of monitoring, evaluating, and improving the quality of interactions between customer service representatives and customers. It involves defining and implementing standards, guidelines, and best practices to ensure that customer support interactions meet predefined quality criteria and align with organizational objectives. QA activities typically include call monitoring, reviewing written communications (such as emails or chat transcripts), and providing feedback and coaching to agents to help them improve their performance. QA also involves analyzing customer feedback, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing corrective actions to enhance the overall quality of service delivery. By focusing on QA, organizations can maintain consistency, accuracy, and professionalism in customer interactions, leading to higher levels of customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention.
