RAG is an abbreviation of a group of color-coding wherein R stands for RED, A stands for AMBER and G stands for GREEN.

EWS in Call Center

These color codes are basically used to identify agents who may or may not continue with the organization. As mentioned this analysis is done in advance of the next month that is why it is also known as EWS ( Early Warning System) which means an early alarm has already been raised by the supervisor/manager to the management.

In a call center or in any organization there are few employees which as a leader you can easily identify according to their performance or behavior that these agents will continue in next month or not, while there are some employees who are happy with the work culture and organization and they would not leave the organization. This analysis in the call center world is called RAG analysis or EWS.

10 agents who have been complaining regularly about salary and work culture or any other issues during the month are marked RED

10 agents who have not been vocal about issues but somewhat dicey or easily influenced by the other agents are marked AMBER

10 agents who are tenured enough and happy with the work culture, salary, and infrastructure are marked GREEN
