Team Management

Teams allow organizing GRM agents by geographic area and managing complaint assignment in a structured way.

Concept

A team groups several agents responsible for handling complaints from a specific geographic area (sector). Each team has:

  • A unique name
  • A description of its mission
  • One or more covered sectors
  • Members with different roles

Escalation Within the Team

Process

  1. The agent processes a complex complaint
  2. Clicks Escalate
  3. The complaint is transferred to the manager
  4. The manager can:
    • Handle it themselves
    • Reassign to another agent
    • Escalate to a higher level

Notifications

  • The agent receives a notification of the escalation
  • The manager is notified of the new complaint
  • The history keeps track of the escalation

Best Practices

Organization

  1. One sector = one team: Avoid overlaps
  2. Optimal size: 3-5 members per team
  3. Backup: Provide backup agents
  4. Rotation: Rotate responsibilities

Communication

  1. Regular meetings: Weekly team check-in
  2. Knowledge sharing: Document complex cases
  3. Feedback: Exchange on resolved cases

Performance

  1. Indicator tracking: Monthly KPI review
  2. Load balancing: Reassign if imbalanced
  3. Continuous training: Update skills

Integration with SLAs

Teams inherit configured SLA policies:

  • Deadlines apply to all members
  • Alerts are sent to the manager
  • Automatic escalations are triggered
