What Is Call Center Call Recording | NICE
Call recording is a critical component of a contact center's quality management program, and may also be required for compliance purposes.
When used for quality management, call recordings can be reviewed and evaluated by supervisors or quality analysts to determine if agents are following call flows, building rapport, offering cross-sell products, controlling the call, providing accurate information, etc. Then the call recording can be shared with agents during coaching sessions and the quality score added to their performance scorecards. In addition to agent evaluations, call recordings can be reviewed to assess the rollout of new promotions, identify call drivers and experience trends, determine refresher training topics, and more. Because call recordings contain a direct objective record of the customer experience, they are a rich source of information that can be used to improve operations and enhance the level of service delivered.
Regarding compliance, all contact centers that use call recording need to comply with federal and state laws regarding customer notification and consent, as well as regulations related to retention. Then, depending on the industry or what data is being collected, there may be additional requirements that the contact center needs to comply with. For example, contact centers that collect credit card information need to be compliant with PCI standards. This means, for example, that contact centers can't record credit card security codes.
