AHT (Average Handle Time)

AHT, or Average Handle Time, is a key performance indicator (KPI) in call centers that measures the average amount of time an agent spends on handling a customer interaction, from the initial contact to the resolution of the issue. It includes both the talk time and any after-call work (ACW) needed to complete the interaction. Reducing AHT is often a priority for call centers, as it directly impacts operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
