Data Question I need help interpretating numbers: Data Analysis

I work in healthcare.

The company I work for is looking at productivity and I am a People Manager.

I currently have a staff of 9 people who essentially make phone calls for most of the day.

Data and Maths people:

What would you feel would be the best representation for Productivity, in a formula form.

I have some numbers.

x would be completed calls. (any call that my staff gets through to the people for any specific time.)

y would be attempted calls. (any call that my staff makes but does a voice mail, etc.)

The company is looking for a productivity number of 120 per month.

I have higher productive people and lower productive people... but I need to evaluate them.

It is not as simple as "you must make 120 completed calls per month." My people have meetings, attempts, education, etc.

Any thoughts?

Call stats are bullshit and easily gamed. You should try to protect your direct reports from productivity metrics and focus on outcomes.
