The Insights view enables supervisors to gain insights about an agent’s performance between two specific dates. As a supervisor, you can access a single and comparative view of how each agent on your team performs these key measures: 

  • Compared with their goals
  • Compared with self over time
  • Compared with their peer group

As a supervisor, you can use the Insights tab to identify strong or weak performances and take the most effective actions to support the development and engagement of both the agent and your team. You can also view performance data for the entire profile or for individual agents within it.

 Navigate to the insights tab

To access the Insights tab, perform one of the following actions:

  • Select ActivityInsights.
  • Select PerformanceWorkspace > Employee Engagement > Insights.

From the Insights tab that appears, you can further configure the Insights view.

Configure the insights view

  1. From the Profile list, select the profile with the agents that you want to analyze. For more information about profiles, see Gamification profiles overview.
  2. When you work with the Default profile, from the Division list select the division with the agents you want to analyze. For more information about profiles, see Divisions overview.
  3. From the right top corner of the Insights view, select the values in the following fields:
    1. In the Time Interval drop down, select whether you want to view the data in Months or Weeks.
    2. In the Compare and To date picker fields, select the timespan of the performance data you want to analyze. The months or weeks you see here are based on the value set in the Time Interval field.

When you work with the Insights tab, specify the profile, division, manager, or supervisor the agents report to, and the time interval and date range to generate the list that you want to analyze. After you select the origin of the information that you want to appear in the Insights tab, see the Performance Insights area for a detailed view of the entire profile’s performance. From the agent list in the Performance Insights area, you can drill down to view performance data about a specific agent. For more information, see the following sections.

You can select any two weeks.

  • This week compared with last week
  • This week compared with two weeks ago
  • Last week compared with two weeks ago

You can select any two months.

  • This month compared with last month
  • This month compared with two months ago
  • Last month compared with two months ago

Configure profile performance data 

You can analyze the profile performance from the Performance Insights section. Before you proceed, configure the settings to view the corresponding data via the fields available on the upper right corner of the Performance Insights section.

To configure the settings, perform the following steps:

  1. From the Profile list, select the profile with the agents that you want to analyze. For more information about profiles, see Gamification profiles overview.
  2. To view the data on how the profile is working for the selected time interval in a bar or line chart format, click [hidden]Icon included[/hidden] Profile Trend. The Performance Insights section appears.
    1. In the Chart list, select whether you want to view the data in Bar or Line format. 
    2. In the Start of list, select whether you want to view the start day to be in a week or month format.
    3. From the Metrics list, configure the chart to show data for the selected metric.
      Note: Each profile is associated with a different set of metrics.
    4. In the View list, below the graph, select how you want to view the profile data. Hover over the chart for details about the current and previous day.
      • % of Goal: Displays each user’s accrued points divided by the total attainable points during the selected time interval (expressed as a percentage).
      • Average Value: Displays the average value of all workdays that contain data for each metric (expressed in the metric unit. For example, percentage, time, and so on).
        Note: Average Value is not applicable for the Overall Average column.
    5. From the Sort list, select how you want to sort the agents list.
      • Main Value: Sorts according to the % of goal or average value.
      • Improvement: Sorts according to the improvement or decline between the comparative and primary periods.
    6. ClickSettings to set the performance threshold and the data that you want to view. 
    7. When you finish, click Save Settings.
Threshold Description
Good % of Goal (Equal or Above)   Denotes that the agent received all or more of the allocated points. A green line signifies a good threshold. 
Bad % of Goal (Equal or Below) Denotes that the agent received all or less than the allocated points. A red line signifies a bad threshold. 
Improvement % (Equal or Above)   Denotes that the agent received the same or more points compared with the previous time frame. A green percentage with an arrow pointing up denotes an improvement.
Decline % (Equal or Above) Denotes that the agent received the same or fewer points compared with the previous time frame. A red percentage with an arrow pointing down denotes a decline.

Note: For example, the agent does a great job (green line) handling interactions, but also handles fewer interactions (red percentage, with a downward arrow) than in the previous time frame.

Gamification includes a set of predefined metrics that, usually, you can customize to suit your goals. The metric type determines the unit of measure used (percent, seconds, or a number). The metrics are either built-in or external. The following table lists the built-in metrics. For more information about external metrics, see Configure external metrics for performance scorecards.

Note: The data in the Insights tab updates the next day in case there is a change in your start date. For more information, see Activate gamification for your organization.

  2. Hover over a column heading to view the objectives for the specific data. For example, in the following image, the objective for Average After Call Work is between 30s and 1m. 350 points represent 100% of the objective. With this tooltip, you can quickly distinguish if the agent needs assistance, and whether they are either rushing through their ACW or taking too long to complete it. If the agent does not meet the objective, they receive fewer points. For more information about objectives, see Configure gamification profile metrics
