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)
. 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. Staff dedicated to marketing, claims, and TPA departments are
excluded from the following head counts.
