Call Center - Customer Service Awards Program

Since 1998, Our Call Center Customer Service Industry Awards Have Recognized Top-Performing Call Centers and Employees for First Call Resolution, Customer Satisfaction, Employee Satisfaction and Best Practices. 

FCR/CX Awards Overview

SQM's First Call Resolution Customer Experience (CX) Awards are the original, biggest, and most prestigious North American Call Center Industry CX Awards. Since 1998, SQM has been awarding call centers for their First Call Resolution (FCR), CX, and Employee Experience results, as well as FCR Best Practice performance.

SQM's awards are unique because they are based on customers who have used a call center and or employees who work in a call center. For a call center to be eligible for FCR Awards, they must participate in an SQM FCR benchmarking or tracking research study. First Call Resolution Awards are given out annually at an SQM Awards Gala event.
