QA/CX Awards Overview​​​​​​

SQM's Quality Assurance (QA) and Customer Experience (CX) Awards are the original, biggest, and most prestigious North American Call Center Industry QA & CX Awards. Since 1998, SQM has been awarding call centers for their QA scores, CSAT, FCR, and ESAT results, as well as Best Practice performance.

North American Call Center CX Awards Badge

SQM's awards are unique because they are based on customers who have used a contact center and or employees who work at one. For a contact center to be eligible for QA or CX Awards, they must participate in an SQM QA/CX benchmarking or tracking research study. Our QA & CX Awards are presented annually at the SQM Awards Gala event.​​​​​​

Unique Call Center Awards Badge

SQM benchmarks over 500 leading North American contact centers annually and has been conducting QA, customer satisfaction (CSAT), employee satisfaction (Esat), First Call Resolution (FCR) contact center benchmarking, and tracking studies since 1996. Organizations that have participated in an SQM benchmarking or tracking study during the awards year, January 1 - December 31, qualify for SQM's call center QA/CX awards program.
