How are time metrics categorized in the Queue Metrics Daily Report?

• A. Hold time and duration
• B. Time to answer across all channels
• C. Talk time, after call work, and handle time
• D. The total hold time across all interactions

Answer: (C)

Time metrics in the Queue Metrics Daily Report are organized around how agents spend their time on a contact: talk time, after call work, and handle time. Talk time is the actual conversation with the customer, after call work covers tasks done after the call ends (notes, system updates, follow-ups), and handle time represents the total time the agent is occupied with that interaction from start to finish. This three-part breakdown shows both the active speaking phase and the post-call processing, plus the overall time spent on the interaction, which is why it best fits how the daily queue metrics are reported. The other choices focus on hold time or speed of answering, or on hold time across interactions, and don’t provide the complete time-category structure used here.
