The Coaching Assignments feature in Quality AI helps supervisors and QA users identify performance gaps, create targeted coaching plans, notify agents, track completion, and measure improvement over time. Supervisors and QA users create coaching assignments for individual agents or groups based on evaluation metrics, scorecards, agent attributes, or a combination of these factors. This allows them to target specific improvement areas at the metric level instead of using broad coaching categories. During conversation reviews, QA users mark interactions that need coaching as coaching candidates. Quality AI collects these candidates in the Marked for Coaching workspace, where users organize candidates, create coaching groups, and assign coaching individually or in group coaching assignments (in bulk). When users create a coaching assignment, the system automatically notifies assigned agents by email with assignment details and completion instructions. For group coaching, Quality AI creates separate assignments and sends individual notifications to each agent. Agents can complete only their own assignments and cannot view group membership or group-level information.
