Question

Imagine that you work in a call center. Your manager tells you that you need to answer 25% more calls per hour. In order to do this, you must spend less time with each caller, and your caller satisfaction scores are going down. By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being __________ but NOT ___________.

Answer 1

By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being EFFICIENT but NOT SATISFY CUSTOMERS' NEEDS.

Step-by-step explanation:

A worker's efficiency is measured by the total output per hour of labor. In this case, since you are answering more calls per hour, your efficiency is increasing (higher output per hour).

The quality of the service provided by a worker's is measured by the quality of their output (or performance), and if you satisfy your customers' needs. Since the service that you are providing is not that good, then your quality levels are decreasing.

You may be producing more services, but the services produced lack good quality.
