If (when) your agency faces E&O litigation, you'll need to provide admissible evidence to the court. Laws are standard in most states, with six requirements for the admissibility of evidence. To give your agency the best chance of ... an E&O judgment, you need to comply with these practices: The files must be the Primary Source of Information. This only becomes a problem if you have a dual filing system, for example paper files and electronic files. When maintaining a dual files system, both files must be identical. In other words, if your staff notes a phone conversation in the paper file, they should also note it in the activity log of the electronic file. My recommendation is that you maintain one or the other. The data contained in these files must be Input in the Normal Course of Business. This means that CSRs or other agency personnel should enter data into the files while performing their agency duties. The Agency Relies on the Accuracy of the Record. The information in the files ...

... instance, the extra time is well spent if that account is profitable for the agency. To allow for this kind of variation, transaction logs/activity reports are usually measured and compared over a six-month period. This assumes that over the long run, other CSRs will have had similar experiences and the numbers will even out. Volume of work processed is one aspect of the CSR evaluation process. Errors are another side of the coin. While speed is important, don't emphasize it if the result is CSRs who process tons of work but make mistakes that could create an errors and omissions situation. DESK AUDITS Many agencies have tried to correlate speed with accuracy by employing additional methods to measure CSR performance. One method is desk audits. During a desk audit (unannounced), a supervisor will ... through a CSR's work in progress, including unprocessed mail and pending items on their desk, checking for accuracy and timeliness. Desk audits verify that a CSR's work meets the performance guidelines set by the agency. Items that do not meet standards should be noted and discussed with the CSR. You can then take steps to eliminate problems before they become an errors and omissions exposure. FILE AUDITS File audits are another backup method for the transaction log/activity report. For a file audit, a supervisor or manager pulls three or four files at random from the customer files or database for discussion at a staff meeting. During the meeting, time is set aside for the CSR and/or the producer who handles that account to present an overview of the account. Other staff members work from the ...
