Occupancy
The percentage of an agent’s logged time that is spent actively handling customer interactions, such as calls, chats, or emails, versus waiting for the next interaction. OCCUPANCY is a key indicator of how effectively the workforce is utilized during working hours.
Calculation Example:
Total Logged Time: 8 hours
Total Productive Time (time spent on calls, chats, emails): 6.5 hours
Occupancy: (6.5 / 8) * 100 = 81.25%
