Intradiem Introduces First AI-Powered Solution to Predict Contact Center Agent Attrition
Solution predicts agent churn with 80% accuracy, with expectations it will reach 90% in 2024
Intradiem, the leading provider of contact center automation solutions, is introducing the first AI-powered technology solution to quantify agent “burnout” and predict the risk of attrition at the agent level. Currently, the solution predicts churn accurately 80% of the time, but with refinements and model training in progress, that’s expected to increase to 90% or more by 2024.
Rigid schedules, repetitive work, and regular hostility from frustrated callers make a call center agent’s job notoriously stressful. That fuels chronic attrition, which in turn drives costs high and undercuts a customer’s consistent brand experience. It’s estimated that agent attrition averages 40-70% annually, with some organizations turning over their entire agent population each year. And, replacing a single agent can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000.

Using its vast real time contact center data, Intradiem’s AI model measures the data against expectations or past performance in real-time and designates each agent’s burnout risk assessment on its dashboard. Once an agent is identified as an attrition risk, the tool alerts a supervisor and provides recommendations to reduce the risk of them resigning. These recommendations range from initiating conversations to deploying additional training, coaching, surprise wellness breaks, or other actions, many of which can be automatically scheduled or delivered through Intradiem.
“With Intradiem’s extensive amount of real-time data and our talented team of developers and industry experts, we can bring powerful AI solutions to contact centers’ most critical and enduring challenges,” said Intradiem CEO Matt McConnell. “This is a genuine breakthrough with benefits that will ripple through the entire customer service delivery chain, from agents to operations to customers.”
