Skill list
Skills in the Verba Performance and Quality Management system provide a logical layer in the evaluation process. By assigning a skill to a question in the evaluation form, supervisors and contact center managers are able to measure the performance of a given skill set in the contact center organization. Dashboard widgets and report templates are available to visualize and get an insight into the skill performance trends.
The solution is shipped with a default set of skill definitions, but additional skills can be added easily later on.
Skill administration is available only for the quality management administrators by selecting the Quality Management/ Skills submenu.
