Agent Behavior Insights Report
The Agent Behavior Insights Report provides a comprehensive view of agent behavior by analyzing interactions and delivering key behavioral metrics. This report helps teams track agents’ behavioral trends, identify high- or low-scoring patterns, and assess when coaching is necessary.
The report displays up to 90 days of data and includes widgets that summarize key metrics, allowing users to drill down from a team view to individual agent performance. This is essential for businesses aiming to proactively manage agent behavior, intervene when needed, and improve overall service performance.

Report Requirements and Limitations
To view and run this report, you must have both the QM Advanced, QM Premium, and Interaction Analytics licenses enabled.
If you want an agent's data to appear in this report, they need to have the Can be Evaluated/Coached and Can be Analyzed employee attributes applied in the Admin application. You can configure this on the General tab of an employee profile.
This report analyzes and scores all interactions with sufficient data, regardless of whether an evaluation was done. It doesn't provide behavioral metrics for:
-
Internal interactions between agents or where multiple agent names are present.
-
Interactions that weren't recorded or don't have audio. This includes interactions that last four seconds or less, which end before they can be recorded.
-
Interactions with no dialogue or one-sided audio. This could occur if there's a technical issue or if the customer or agent doesn't respond.
-
IVR
Interactive Voice Response. Automated phone menu contacts use via voice or key inputs to obtain information, route an inbound voice call, or both. interactions that don't involve agents. -
Interactions not in English.
How Scoring Works
The widgets
Graphical representation of data that meets specified filter criteria. display two different types of scores: one for individual interactions
The full conversation with an agent through a channel. For example, an interaction can be a voice call, email, chat, or social media conversation. or one that aggregates the interaction scores for an agent or team within a selected time period.
Interaction Scores
Each interaction is given a raw index score of 10, 6, 4, 0, or N/A for each metric and all verticals. The performance range is different for each model. The color displayed with the metric shows how the interaction scored in that area:
-
10 Points
: The interaction is within the top 10% of all interactions for the indicated behavior. -
6 Points
: The interaction is between the top 10% and 35% of all interactions for the indicated behavior. -
N/A
: The interaction is in the middle 30% (35-65%) of all interactions for the indicated behavior. Neutral scores don't count in the total score or total possible score. -
4 Points
: The interaction is between the bottom 10% and 35% of all interactions for the indicated behavior. -
0 Points
: The interaction is within the bottom 10% of all interactions for the indicated behavior.
Aggregate Scores
Aggregate scores at the agent or team level are calculated using the index scores of each interaction. These scores are a percentage that is calculated by dividing the total points received by the total points possible. N/A scores are left out of both the numerator and denominator of the equation. The color displayed with the metric shows the agent or team's overall score in that area for the specified period of time:
- Strongly Positive
: 90.5%-100% -
Moderately Positive
: 70.5%-90.5% -
Neutral
: 30.5%-70.5% -
Moderately Negative
: 10.5%-30.5% -
Strongly Negative
: 0%-10.5%
The calculation for six interactions with scores of 10, 6, 0, 0, N/A, and 6 would be calculated like this:
-
10 + 6 + 0 + 0 + N/A + 6 = 22 total points earned.
-
5 interactions (the N/A score doesn't count) * 10 points possible per interaction = 50 possible points.
-
22 total points earned / 50 points possible = 44%
This score would result in a neutral or white box for that behavior on the main report page.
