Average handling time

Also known as: AHT

Average handling time describes staff time spent per contact. Its exact components vary: the referenced dashboard uses active conversation time across engaged conversations.[1]

Divide included handling time by the corresponding contact count for the same period, reporting minutes per contact. State whether waiting and wrap-up count. A lower figure does not automatically mean better service if customers must return with unresolved problems.
