MetricNet Delivers Metrics Case Study at the 2018 HDI Conference

MCLEAN, Va., April 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeff Rumburg, co-founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, presented Session 302, 'Leveraging Metrics to Take Southwest Airlines to a Higher Plane', at the Annual HDI Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. This marks the 26th consecutive year Mr. Rumburg has been selected as a speaker for the Annual HDI Conference & Expo.

In this presentation, Mr. Rumburg presented a case study that examined how Southwest Airlines leveraged metrics to close performance gaps and achieve world-class performance. It illustrated, in detail, how Southwest established performance targets, implemented a scorecard, and drove accountability, to go from Good to Great in less than 12 months.

"By maturing their metrics, Southwest has reduced their costs while simultaneously improving customer satisfaction, first contact resolution rate, service levels, and agent job satisfaction." said Rumburg. "Moreover, chat now represents more than 30% of their ticket volume, and agents have a well-defined career path!"
