First Call Resolution (FCR)
FCR measures the effectiveness of CX programs by monitoring the percentage of calls resolved quickly. High first call resolution rates indicate that customer service agents are resolving the issue the customer has in the first communication touch, whether that is by voice call, email, chat, or text. FCR directly impacts the efficiency of CX programs as it helps avoid high rates of repeat requests and follow-up calls.
