What is AHT?

Average Handling Time is the average time needed to handle a contact end to end. It includes the customer conversation and the after-contact work such as notes, CRM updates and ticket closure.

The formula: AHT = Total handling time / Number of contacts

Reducing AHT without sacrificing quality is the holy grail of customer service. The levers are agent training, an accessible knowledge base, scripts for common cases and automation of after-contact work such as AI summaries and auto closure.
