REPEAT REDUCTION (PROJECT)
Repeat % is a metric in Airtel process which measures the calls received from the same customer for
more than one time. Repeat % has a 40% weightage on the R & P metric of Airtel process at HGS. Currently
Chennai Prepaid is trending with a penalty of about RS ####### per month. By reducing repeat from the current
level of 31 % to 24%, reducing repeat % is critical as it impacts the satisfaction of the end user on Airtel and the
client satisfaction. Reduction in repeat % will have an impact on another R & P metric SL.
SGSN ISSUE (CASE STUDY)
4. 4 | P a g e
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
For dual SIM mobiles removing & re-inserting SIM is required, whereas for mono SIM mobiles
restarting the mobile is enough. It was observed that the problem occurs mostly in dual SIM
handsets. For few dual SIM handsets it requires to change the SIM to another slot in the same
handset.
GOALS:
To reduce the number of service requests those were raised by the customer on the scenario
(Customer not able to use/open any website using mobile Office)
REPEAT INDICATOR – TOOL (GOOD PRACTICE)
BACKGROUND:
Airtel is a leading telecom operator in India providing services to its customers across all regions.
Customers have the option of having queries resolved either on the phone or via email. The team at HGS handles
via both modes. This case study is initiated by a process servicing Leading Telecom Operator in India (Airtel)
Problem, it has been observed that customers are calling repeatedly to get appropriate resolutions. Repeat is in
increasing trend and to defeat this increase in repeat the process has initiated this practice.
CHALLENGES FACED:
This practice was implemented to reduce reporting time consumption to extract the agent wise REPEAT, NON
CDN & UIC. We are facing challenges for above mentioned report extraction of a particular agent with the overall
dump which is published by MIS and it takes few minutes to open the dump and to fetch the agent details. Time
consumption was high on extracting the agent wise data.
AHT BREAKTHROUGH (PROJECT)
A quick fix initiated to bring down the floor AHT wherein all the team leads were asked to do a detailed
Root Cause Analysis on their respective team’s day-end AHT and send an action plan for the coming days to curb
the issue.
ICE REINFORCEMENT (PROJECT)
A Project wherein the all the associates were segmented as per their ICE (C-SAT Surveys) Scores and
approached each segment with different plan of action. The bottom category was termed as Special Interest
Group. This group was assigned to a Team Lead who was Best in Class inters of ICE. Constant feedback and
activities like Joint Call listening were part of SIG Management.
ICE HALL OF FAME BOARD (PROJECT)
A decorative board was placed near the notice board wherein snaps of Daily ICE Toppers will be pasted.
This activity was initiated to maintain the sprint among the associates.
A STUDY ON REPEAT DUE TO SECURITY CHECK FAILURES (CASE STUDY)
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY:
To analyze and identify the causes for repeat due to security check failures.
5. 5 | P a g e
BACKGROUND:
When customer calls call centre, Security checks are done to authenticate whether the information is
provided to right person. Around 88% of calls [sub-sub type wise] need to be authenticated. At times customer
fails in the authentication steps and the customer care executive will deny providing information. These
customers call back which contributes to repeat.
RESTRICT MOBILE BACKGROUND DATA AUTOMATICALLY (CASE STUDY)
OBJECTIVE
The Objective of this study/suggestion is to reduce the repeat which is increasing under data related
balance depletion and to control the waiver posted against the same.
BACKGROUND
If customer called up for balance depletion due to data usage where he/she is not used much data (have
opened few pages only) but more balance got depleted. For this agent will explain about the background data is
running automatically which leads to the balance depletion and also consumed high data. For which customer
will not agree and want to restrict the background running data automatically and claims for waiver. From CC end
we were not having the solution in SOP to restrict the background data running and hence agent will provide the
waiver if customer insists on same.
EMPLOYEE RETENTION (PROJECT)
The Objective of this to ensure that HGS employees parents / Guardians are aware of the work
environment and the organization that their children / Wards are working for providing this information to the
families will enable them to encourage employees improve their performance and prevent attrition
