Quality & Compliance
Enhancing agent performance and customer experience through structured quality monitoring, coaching, and governance.
The Challenge
A large mortgage servicer’s collections department faced rising customer complaints and dissatisfaction driven by inconsistent agent behavior and poor call quality. Feedback indicated agents lacked professionalism, empathy, and clarity in customer interactions, creating both customer experience issues and potential compliance risk.
The Strategy
Northridge partnered with the organization to design and implement a structured quality monitoring program focused on improving agent soft skills, standardizing evaluation criteria, and strengthening feedback loops to drive consistent performance improvement.
The Execution
Northridge worked alongside the internal QA team to establish a scalable quality monitoring and performance management framework aligned to key behavioral and compliance standards.
Key actions included:
Conducting guideline education and calibration sessions to align QA teams on evaluation standards
Defining clear performance criteria and behavioral expectations (e.g., professionalism, active listening, empathy)
Establishing hotline reporting protocols with rapid feedback loops for critical behaviors
Providing targeted coaching and feedback to agents tied to specific performance gaps
Revamping reporting and performance tracking, including monthly reviews and KPI analysis
- Implementing structured governance and review cadence to sustain improvements
