Your organization’s IT help desk is one of your most important corporate resources. With companies relying on technology to carry out so many important tasks, it is inevitable that systems will go down,
Having a high-functioning IT help desk that goes above and beyond can make the world of difference in your operations. If you aren’t following best practices in your help desk operations, you may have low customer satisfaction and, worse, the operations of your entire organization could be suffering.
Here are some ways to determine if you are following help desk best practices:
1.Regularly survey your clients
By regularly carrying out customer satisfaction surveys, you will have valuable information about how your help desk is performing. You can do this with your call tracking software. By constantly examining your performance, you can aim to continuously improve.
2. Document everything by assigning it a ticket
Whenever you have a request or incident record it in your customer service system to ensure you are able to see the big picture of your company’s processes. No matter how urgent or how small the request is, having your help desk team track and record every interaction they have with your customers will give you valuable data about who is using the help desk and why.

4. Focus on improved communication
Keep your users informed about the progress of their problems. Even though you may be working on finding a solution, they can perceive silence as being that their requests aren’t being worked on or are maybe even being ignored. Let the user know what steps you are taking to give them reassurance.
5. Reduce the call load with DeskAlerts
