What Is Average After Call Work Time?

In a call center, Average After Call Work Time (AACW) is the time an agent spends completing post-call tasks, such as logging details and updating CRM records. It is an essential metric for call center efficiency. Too much time spent on after call work means less time spent interacting with customers. AI automation and AI agents can automate after call work, eliminating the need for agents to manually complete it.

  • Improves agent productivity by minimizing post-call delays
