An effective evaluation program needs a well-balanced scorecard, which contains questions that address key performance indicators (KPIs) and factors affecting the specific goals of a business. To achieve this, the Scorecards section of SpeechIQ configuration contains a flexible scorecard builder using which you can create different types of questions (such as, logic-based, optional, multiple-choice) based on specific goals and objectives. You can use the questions to address performance, compliance, and efficiency in a multichannel environment. Depending on the importance of the metrics, you can assign weighted scores for a meaningful evaluation. 

The Scorecards window displays the following tabs.
