How to calculate Issue Resolution Time
You’ll calculate your issue resolution time by adding up the total amount of minutes it takes per customer service initiation to come to a resolution in a given timeframe. Then, you’ll count up the number of customer service interactions conducted in that same timeframe. You’ll end up averaging it like this: Number of minutes to solve problem / Number of customer service problems = Issue resolution time
