Instead, most contact centres (72%) are now using the metric for planning purposes.

Use it for planning purposes – 72%
Target Agents on AHT – 47%
Measure agents on it but don’t tell them – 25%
We don’t use AHT – 7%
(Multiple answers were allowed during this poll, so the total does not add up to 100%.)
