“We have really worked at creating an environment where the best employees
will want to spend the balance of their working lives. It has to be a place that
is fun, but also one where they can excel. We are trying to do both.”
Service Staff
TPA Service Staff
Service Staff is defined in the study as typically non-commissioned employees who have responsibility—either directly (e.g.,
Account Executives (AE), Account Managers (AM), Customer Service Representatives (CSRs), Assistant CSRs, etc.) or indirectly
(e.g., Claims Specialist, Placer/Marketer, etc.)—to provide or support the delivery of service to the agency’s clients.
In the following charts the number of CSRs includes Account Executives (non-producer position), Senior CSRs, CSRs, Account
Managers, Assistant CSRs, etc.
(i.e., positions with main responsibility for client service or main responsibility to support the
AE, CSR/AM in providing client services)
. It also includes the department managers who spend a portion of their time
servicing clients. Respondents were instructed to use decimals to accurately represent the actual number of full-time CSR
positions.
