As the end of another year approaches, you may be counting down to the start of the festive period (or maybe even dreading it). This time of year can go one of two ways, either you’re very busy finishing up before January, or your team begins to wind down and get into the holiday spirit. Either way, this can cause a shift in the way your team is working. In this case, we’re specifically referring to the engagement with key metrics.

If you manage a Contact Center and work fully remote or hybrid, then you will have already learned that the typical setup of an in-person Contact Center just won’t cut it anymore. The biggest challenge facing most remote teams is communication, you don’t have everyone in the same room or even on the same time zone. When it comes to managing, motivating and monitoring a distributed Customer Support team, adopting a remote-first approach to communication is crucial.

For customer support teams, real time data can be a total game changer, as our recent post outlined. Unlike periodic reports Zendesk Explore, or business intelligence tools, real time dashboards have the power to let your team take meaningful, timely action on data that’s seconds or minutes old, rather than days or even weeks old. This can be transformative, speeding up response times, motivating your agents, improving service levels, and reducing day-to-day workload for managers.

Are there times when you feel like your Customer Service team is under appreciated for the work you do? Perhaps your team members have spoken openly about not getting the credit they deserve. Sadly, it’s not uncommon for Customer Service teams to feel like they’re working extremely hard without getting the same recognition that others parts of the business do. *Cough cough* Sales. *Cough cough* Marketing. *Cough*. On one level, you could write it off as paranoia.

As a Customer Support leader you know that reporting on your team's KPIs is a crucial part of maintaining excellent standards in customer service. For many Support teams, reporting usually takes the form of a weekly or monthly update, which helps you reflect on what is and isn't working, so you can focus your efforts in the future. But should your reporting go one step further? Should you also be utilizing the power of real-time data?

For most Customer Support teams, keeping tabs on your Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is a huge priority. However, if you're using Zendesk, you might find that their standard reporting tools like Zendesk Explore don't always make it easy to see which tickets are about to breach their SLA, or how you are performing against your SLA targets in general.

Zendesk captures a ton of data about your customers and the support experience you provide. However, since Zendesk’s reporting tool (Zendesk Explore) is its own ecosystem, some organizations like to connect Zendesk to Power BI so they can combine Zendesk data with data from across their organization. If you use both tools, integrating Zendesk and Power BI is a solid plan for turning raw customer support data into actionable insights.

Do any of us ever truly master a tool? We may try, but with how quickly tech companies push out changes, it’s difficult to fully master a piece of software. Zendesk is a good example of this. Zendesk releases new features and content regularly, so if you want your support team to get the highest possible return on your Zendesk investment, it’s critical to stay up to date on Zendesk’s feature releases.

Dashboard Design Tip #2 – include only the most important content. The less content you include, the easier your dashboard will be to check 'at-a-glance'. This means your dashboard will be more useful to more people.
