Typical Cost Structure of a Service Center or Call CenterThe enormous share of HR-related costs outlines the importance for significant improvements in agents’ time and effort.
HR cost is the best single area to investigate for cost reduction initiatives:
Improve efficiency
Reduce turnover
Increase automation and self-services
Interpretation
Besides the enormous portion of HR related costs, it is remarkable that software spending accounts for only 3.2 percent.
