SPARKS, MD - PHH Arval was named the first-ever winner of the "Outstanding Customer Support Performance 2009" Award from The Fraser Group, LLC, a management consulting firm focused on helping companies measure and improve call center performance. The award, presented for the first time to any organization, recognized the performance of PHH's Driver Response Team, a call center which responds to fleet driver calls and requests.
The Fraser Group monitored and scored calls taken by PHH's Driver Response Team against Fraser's proprietary call center methodology. Fraser assessed PHH's performance throughout each call, from greeting through problem resolution. The results, which captured PHH's metrics throughout the course of a full year, demonstrated that the Driver Response Team achieved an outstanding level of 90-94-percent performance achievement each quarter for four straight quarters.
According to Fraser's database of client benchmarks, the average level of achievement among customer call center organizations when first benchmarked is 68 percent. PHH is the first and only company among those scored by Fraser that has achieved four consecutive quarters of 90 percent or better performance.
In presenting the award to PHH Arval, Barry Maners, managing director of The Fraser Group, said, "Many customer support organizations believe the service they provide to their customers is of high quality based on a set of internal metrics like talk time, time to answer, the number of calls handled per hour and a series of other metrics than mean nothing to the calling customer. PHH has chosen to improve and measure its performance based on a set of metrics that describe what really matters to the customer. After adopting this true paradigm shift, PHH has attained a level of performance, based on these customer-driven metrics, that is truly enviable. To perform at this level, not for one measurement period but for four consecutive quarters, is truly outstanding performance."
Tom Keilty, PHH Arval's chief operating officer, said, "We are honored to receive this recognition, which is a tangible proof of our success in delivering quality customer service to our clients and their fleet drivers. We're even more proud of the fact that our Driver Response Team is so totally focused on increasing the productivity of the drivers who contact them - getting their questions answered and requests resolved quickly and completely. That's the true value of measuring, monitoring and assessing each call."
